the evidence I find at the crime scene rarely tells me anything useful.

The last couple of cases I did at the intermidate and hard level didn't have any connection to the people without legit. alibis.

I almost always have to depend on witness evidence to accuse.

What can I do to increase the possibility of physical evidence being relevant to the case? Which skill have you found the most helpful to have when it comes to evidence?

Thanks!

From start you're always sure to find notes or footprints at the scene of the crime, but in order to find hairs or threads you need the basic hair and thread analysis skills. When you have those 2 too, you'll always be sure to find a physical to point to the culprit :)

and u can also dress smart.

I think the dressing smart only affects the additional information you can find like slim/heavy, curly/straight and so on, if you have the basic skills, you'll always find those kinds of evidence if they're there - I think :)

One of the most vital ITEMS you can/should have is the CHEMIST KIT. Even with basic evidence skills, this raises your chances of finding and pinpointing your evidence. Even the magnifying glass would help, but understand, you are at a crime scene...you should be ready to search that scene. If you are part of an agency, you may swap your chemist kit after your search, and add something to enhance your witness questioning tactic, i.e. charm or toughness...I hope this helps!
