OK, so when you think about electrostatic lifts, we all know about magnetism, right?

We learned about that in physical science back in junior high school.

So negatives attract positives.

So what we do with electrostatic lift, you see an example of one here that we did at Jack State.

That's a mylar sheet.

It's kind of like vinyl.

You lay it over a suspected area where you have taken an oblique light.

You see how we're lighting that kind of obliquely like that?

And we try to raise that print by electrostatic charge.

So you place the mylar sheet over it.

You add an electrical charge.

The charge on the paper on the mylar is actually negative and everything at the ground level is positive.

So what happens is this is lifted and captured.

And we have that for, you know, as long as we treat it, you know, with respect, the bit of evidence so that we don't ruin it, we can go back to the lab and we can have a footprint expert that can assess it.

And you're gonna look for all kinds of little anomalies in there.

And here's a thought, here's a thought as well, back to that vacant house, okay?

Are there any footprints over there that they could have actually assessed relative to electromagnetic lifts that could be tied back to anything that they might find on the floors inside of her house?

Because if they can tie that back to a suspect here, this is going to be critical moving forward with the case specifically.

Okay.

Understand this.
