The crime scene speaks the truth only since it contains the treasure of information related to the crime commission. Crime scene investigators should look into the scene with an open mind and locate physical evidence to link the crime and the criminal. Irrespective of the size of physical evidence, crime investigators need to check out the evidence to wrap up the investigation. Due to a lack of knowledge, some investigators ignored the trace evidence like fibres, stains, and hairs in the initial stage of investigation presuming that they were unimportant. In spite of the science and technology development, the crime solvation may take one minute or even one decade, depending upon the nature and type of crime. Death scene investigation requires skill, knowledge and presence of mind because in some homicide cases, the offender used to conceal the murdered body and confuse the investigation. The crime concealment acts are being done, not only by professional criminals but also by the normal public. This act includes, charing the dead body, throw into the sea or river, burying, packing and transporting the body. The present case report is the one I examined at a crime scene wherein a female dead body was found packed in a gunny bag and disposed of in a bushy area. The deceased was identified and then the accused was arrested based on the trace evidence.
