“Every contact leaves a trace” is Locard's exchange principle, given by none other than Dr.Edmond Locard or famously known as sherlock holmes of France in 1929. Whenever a crime happens, there must be the presence of evidence in a variety of ways. We need a platform, an infrastructure to unearth these evidence and to examine them, which can be later helpful for the law enforcement agencies to map out what might have happened, that is Forensic science. Forensic science is a vast and enormous subject, whereupon it becomes obvious that it will have a lot of subfields and one of them is Geo-Forensics.

It’s one of the unexplored domains of forensic science. Geo means earth's surface so from the name itself it is fairly easy to decipher what is geo forensics? When geology is applied in legal matters. The experts who study this field and do the execution part of it are called forensic geologists. What they do can be the next question, they collect, analyzes the earthly materials, and check whether it’s associated with the given crime or not, materials include dried leaves, soil, stones, etc. To help the law enforcement agencies, forensic geologist brings their best.

Interviewing is an important aspect of the forensic investigative process. If I defined it as an “Investigative interviewing is the questioning of victims, witnesses & suspects (interviewee) to obtain complete, accurate and reliable information to discover the truth about the matter under investigation”. The Law enforcement officers could not detect deception under those particular circumstances, or some political pressure or emotional situations they did not detect deception. The identification of the detection the untruth and spreading the misinformation to law enforcement. Therefore, the expert forensic psychologist of the particular field of body language and identifying with the human behavior is the significant role to play in investigating interview. The deep knowledge about the facial and bodily movement, how to hide something or when a person lies what`s the facial and physiological changes on face and what is the micro expression on face and behavior, how to body responded. Effective detection of deception can save enormous amounts of time by enabling the investigator to avoid going to court to testify as solve a crime simply by developing reasonable evidence and a trial usually follows. Thus, some facts on the research information below on the investigation interview of the interesting analysis on behavior and facial micro expression.
