In forensic investigation, minutiae details left over the scene of occurrence are sufficient to disclose the identity of victim/suspect. These details need a careful analysis/ intensification which are left over any surface or objects unknowingly while in some cases where the unidentified dead bodies are recovered from the crime scene, the Skelton remains could provide the details such as the stature, gender and age of the victim.
