When they broke into the home, and we're talking about forced entry, a lot of people don't know what forced entry means.
It means like a door was either pried open, a window was broken, somebody used some kind of a mechanism to unlock a door.
So that's what forced entry means.
So they're leaving behind evidence.
Looking at the front door, I don't see any fingerprint dust.
So what I would do in this case is I would
scrap everything, start from scratch.
Recreate this whole event.
Try to think about how this criminal got in the home.
Walk their path.
How did they interact with the victim?
Walk their path.
Did they sit down somewhere?
Did they touch things?
Did they wash their hands?
Did they eat something out of the refrigerator?
All of these contacts inside the home and with the victim can leave trace evidence.
It could leave fibers.
It could leave fingerprints.
It could leave DNA.
