  • Abstract:
  • Today’s criminal investigations increasingly rely on digital footprints to solve cases. This paper, "Tracing the Unseen: The Role of Digital Footprints in Modern Forensic Investigations," explores how digital traces—like social media posts, emails, online transactions, and GPS data—are used to piece together what happened, link people, and find crucial evidence. It looks at recent improvements in digital forensic methods and discusses how these tools help investigators. The paper also considers the challenges and ethical issues, such as concerns about privacy and data accuracy. By examining real-world examples and forensic techniques, this study highlights the need for updated practices and collaboration to make the most of digital evidence while respecting ethical boundaries.
