“…During crime operations, some criminals tend to avoid wearing footwear to preventnoise that produces while walking and for better grip while climbing walls 5 . These crime scene footprints aid in the investigation for determination of stature [6][7][8] , and body weight [9][10] .

Footprint is a physical evidence, often found at the crime scenes. Due to its ability to provide more information than fingerprint, it has been considered as a valuable clue. Sometimes, partial footprints or toe prints are found in crime scenes. Hence the present study used toe prints among Kagay-Anons of Philippines population for gender determination. A total of 4000 toe prints were collected and analyzed by "Acree method", using 5mm x 5mm square area transparent film. The number of ridges within the square was calculated as ridge density. The finding has shown that females havecomparatively higher ridge density than malesin all five toes. The present study shows that partial foot print found at the crime scene can be still collected and analyzed for identification.

Stature determination aids the person identification during forensic investigation. The human hand research is the current topic of interest among forensic scientist, forensic medicine experts and anthropologists. Based on sample size analysis, the study involved consented 60 males and 60 females, age ranged from 18 to 55 years old. Stature and hand lengths measurements were made with Stadiometer and Vernier Calipers for analysis. From each participant, ten hand length measurements, five from left and five from right hands were taken. The five length measurements in left hand are the inter-distance between the distal traverse crease of the wrist (LH) and tip of thumb (T), index finger (I), middle finger (M), ring finger (R) & little finger (L), as abbreviated LHT, LHI, LHM, LHR and LHL. Similarly, the right hand lengths indicated as RHT, RHI, RHM, RHR, and RHL. The data were statistically analyzed by using SPSS software, version 23 and column chart. The information about age, gender, name, and place of origin of the participants was coded for easy reference. This study finally developed regression equations to determine stature from hand anthropometry among Ilocano population in Philippines for person identification

“…Foot impressions can be recovered from crime scenes in the form of two dimensional(2D) and three dimensional 3D (also foot outline). Footprintis created when the plantar surface of the foot touches any hard surfaces like mosaic floor, dust or blood termed as 2D footprint whereas 3D (foot outline) shows the line tracing or size parameter of the foot which formed when the foot touches any soft surfaces like soil, snow, and mud [5][6] .…”

Personal identification is the primary aim of anyforensic investigations. Foot impressions, either 2D or 3D are used for person identification. Foot impression found on soft surfaces is three dimension in nature (3D), also namedfoot outline which shows the boundaries of the foot left by the offenders on soft surfaces. It is a fact that 3D impressions can also be used to determine stature, body weight and gender. In the developing countries, people are still walking barefooted. Earlier foot impression studies were conducted on mixed population and currently researchers are insisting the importance of ethnicity consideration.Malaysian Indians are an important ethnic group living in Malaysia, with minor sub-ethnicgroups such as Malayali, Telugu, Sikh, Tamil, and others. Hence this study intends to examine the relationship between stature and 3D foot lengths among Malaysian Telugus, mostly living in peninsular Malaysia. The stature and foot outlines (3D) were collected from consented Telugu 140 subjects, comprising 73 males and 67 females, age ranging from 18 to 60 years old. The data obtained were analysed statistically using SPSS software version 21.0. There exists a strong positive correlation between stature and 3D foot impression lengths and the correlation coefficient (R) values are found to be higher in unknown gender/pooled samplefollowed by males and females. This study developed regression formulae to determine stature from foot outline (3D) lengths among Malaysian Telugus for crime scene investigation. The equations are population specific and should not be used for any other populations.
