QUESTION:

1. How is dried blood and fresh blood collected at the crime scene?
Place thread on bloodstain with a pair of clean forceps or a clean cotton
swab. Roll the thread on the bloodstain, so the stain is absorbed onto the
thread. Repeat until a minimum of four threads are collected.
2. What are several methods for detecting traces of blood at the crime
scene?
The search for the presence of blood at a crime scene is normally
done by close visual examination. The possibility exists, however,
that blood may be present in amounts too little to see with the
unaided eye, or that the blood at the scene had been “cleaned up”
prior to arrival of the crime scene team. There are two different types
of blood that can be collected at a crime scene: liquid and dried
blood. Liquid blood evidence is generally collected from blood pools
but can be collected off of clothing as well, using a gauze pad or a
sterile cotton cloth. Once the sample is collected it must be
refrigerated or frozen and brought to the laboratory as quickly as
possible. The sample must first be dried thoroughly at room
temperature. It is important to get the sample to the laboratory as
quickly as possible because after 48 hours the sample might be
useless. If the sample has to be mailed it should be completely air
dried before packaging. If the sample isn’t completely dry when it
 needs to be packaged, the sample should be rolled in paper and
labeled and then put into either a brown paper bag or a box. The
paper bag or box is then sealed and labeled again. It is important to
only place one item per container to avoid contamination and
samples should not be placed in plastic containers. Samples
shouldn’t be in plastic containers because if the sample is still damp
the moisture from the sample can cause microorganisms that can
destroy the evidence.
