For the finger print that was found on the table we used a brush with pink powder on it to make the finger print more clear so we could match it to a suspect. For the note that was left we used rubbing alcohol that allowed the inks in the pen to separate and we could match the ink to one that was at the scene. For the blood that is found on the murder weapon we used blood typing to figure out who's blood it was. The last was a piece of hair was found at the scene, we determined it was hair after comparing it to a dogs hair and cotton.
