    The document discusses techniques for casting impressions and footwear evidence. It describes why casts are made of impressions, desirable characteristics of casting materials, and common casting materials like plaster of Paris and dental stone. Methods of examining footwear impressions are outlined, including two-dimensional lifts, three-dimensional casts, and snow prints. Identifying unique tread patterns and measurements can help link a tire or vehicle to a crime scene. Accident reconstruction uses debris patterns and tire marks to determine speed, direction, and vehicle details to understand accident events.

    TECHNICS
    What is impression evidence?
    What is a mold evidence?
    What is a Cast?
    Why cast the impression or mold?

    1. The cast gives lifelike and actual-size molding of the original


    impression including uneven surfaces and depths.
    2. The cast gives reproduction of microscopic characteristics.
    3. In deep impressions, the cast gives reproduction of characteristics
    of the side of outsoles and midsoles of the shoe which usually are
    not reproduced in photographs.
    4. Focus or scale problems are eliminated.
    5. Provide tangible 3-dimensional vidence.
    6. Backs-up the photographs.
    Characteristics of a Casting Material
    1. Must be readily fluid or plastic when applied.
    2. Must harden rapidly to a rigid mass.
    3. Must not be deformable nor shrink.
    4. Must be tough.
    5. Must be easy to apply.
    6. Must have no tendency to adhere to the impression.
    7. Should have a fine even composition and surface.
    8. Should not injure the impression.
    9. Should be easily obtainable.
    10.Should be cheap.

    Identifying a Vechicle

    Identifying tread patterns may not be enough to link


    a suspect with a crime scene. Other things can help
    with this:
    Front and rear track widths (center of each tire to
    the center of the opposite tire).
    Wheelbase measurement (center of the front axle
    and the center of the rear axle).
    Turning diameter.
    Databases can be checked to find the vehicle with
    these specifications.
    Accident Reconstruction

    Drivers may not recall the exact series of events before, during,
    and after an accident.
    People, vehicles, and objects, however, can leave evidence of their
    actions at the scene of an accident.
    Debris patterns and tire marks, for example, can be clues to
    speed, direction, and vehicle identification.
    Accident Reconstruction

    There are three basic types of tire marks:


    Skid markscan be clues to the distance when brakes
    were applied and the vehicles speed.
    When someone brakes suddenly and lock the wheels
    Yaw markscan show a sideways skid.
    When a car travels in a curved path faster than it can handle
    and skids sideways
    Tire scrubcan determine the area of impact.
    Made by a damaged or overloaded tire during or right after
    impact
