Soil examinations can determine whether soils share a common origin by comparing color, texture, and composition.

Questions concerning soil evidence should be directed to 703-632-7690. Follow the Evidence Submission directions including Requesting Evidence Examinations and Packaging and Shipping Evidence.

* Collect soil samples as soon as possible, because the soil at the crime scene can change dramatically.

* Collect soil samples from the immediate crime scene area and from the logical access and/or escape route(s).

* Collect soil samples where there are noticeable changes in color, texture, and composition.

* Collect soil samples at a depth that is consistent with the depth from which the questioned soil may have originated.
