Forensic Students Working on Bite Mark Analysis Lab

In their study of forensic impressions the students were given a photograph of a bite mark on a person of interest in the ongoing fictionalized crime case they have been investigating over the course of the school year. The person of interest claimed the bite mark was received in an altercation in his local pub. However, the authorities think he may have something to do with a victim whose body was found in a burnt out car. The students are comparing bite impressions from the bar patrons and the crash victim to the photograph of the suspect's bite mark.

Bite mark impressions lined up on one of the lab tables.

Catie is taking measurements of  "characters" of the impression which will be used for comparison.
