Reshaping the future of criminal investigations | DW Documentary

Forensic science is advancing rapidly. What began over a century ago with fingerprint analysis has evolved into a high-tech discipline. Today, even the smallest traces of DNA can help investigators identify a suspected killer.

For criminals, the walls are closing in. Crime scenes can now be scanned with lasers and reconstructed in 3D, allowing investigators to revisit every detail and test how a crime may have unfolded. The same technology is increasingly being used to digitally scan victims, preserving evidence long after a body is gone.

From virtual crime scenes to microscopic DNA, modern forensics is making it harder than ever to get away with murder.
