Yes, there is the primary crime scene and the secondary crime scene. For example, if a body was found in a trash can but there is no evidence that the person was killed there then it means the person was killed somewhere else. The primary crime scene is where the person was killed and the secondary crime scene is where the body was dumped.

How is a crime scene analyzed?

The police, criminal investigators, forensic scientists, and/or FBI collect physical evidence, which is evidence at the crime scene. They also take photographs at the crime scene and take notes (like to say what time and location the incident happened), and they also do sketches on the crime scene. They draw out two sketches--one is called the rough sketch, which is drawn at the scene. The finished sketch is the sketch drawn after being at the crime scene. Finished sketches include measurements, precise locations, and other things that will help them solve the crime scene.


How many finger prints do you get from a crime scene?

How do forensics investigators use DNA fingerprinting to link a particular suspect to a particular crime scene?

Forensic investigators use genetic markers that vary from person to person. Thus, if all of the genetic markers in the DNA from a crime scene are identical to the genetic markers in the DNA from one of the suspects, that is good evidence that the suspect and crime scene DNA came from the same individual.

Some disadvantages of being a crime scene investigator are being on call any time of the day or night, being exposed to dangerous situations and/or toxic chemicals, and the small risk one could be killed on the job.

Whether it is hot or freezing and snowing hard in a strong wind, you have to be on the scene. Crime scene investigation is probably safer than typical law enforcement activities such as settling domestic disputes or apprehending violent criminals.
