Answer:

If investigators think there is a possibility that an eyewitness was present when the victim was killed, the four items that would likely have been disturbed by the eyewitness would be the bathroom tap (because they may have washed the blood off their hands), the shoeprints (because they would have likely walked around and got blood on their shoe), the half-filled glass of water (because they may have had a drink of water because they were nervous or stressed), and the door to the bedroom being ajar (they would have left through there).

Explanation:

PLATO!

Considering the crime scene, the four items that the possible eyewitness may have disturbed are -

-the exact scene where the shoe prints are found on the pool of blood,

-the bedroom door,

-the table lamp on the floor, and

-the bedroom window wide open.

An area or place where a crime occurs is known as the crime scene. This scene is where investigators first look for clues to determine the cause of death and try to find clues for the suspect.

  • Disturbance of a crime scene can be anything that destroys, modifies, or alters the way the original crime scene is.
  • From the moment the victim dies and the suspect is nowhere to be seen, that area becomes a primary crime scene and must be undisturbed until the forensic team can get proper and adequate pictures or information or items from it.
  • It is human instinct to try to get away from anything that is harmful to us.
  • Likewise, it will also be the eyewitness's first instinct to try to get away from the scene as fast as possible and far away too.
  • Now, considering the given crime scene described in the question, we can assume that the four items disturbed by the possible eyewitness are as below-

(1) The presence of the bloo dy footprints around the dead body shows that the eyewitness may have tried to revive or check whether the person is still alive or not. Or, it may also be that he/she ran over the dead body to escape.

(2) The open bedroom door suggests the person went through there to get away from the scene.

(3) The table lamp on the floor suggests that it may have been knocked off by the eyewitness when trying to escape through the bedroom window.

(4) the open bedroom window suggests the eyewitness escaped through the bedroom and not through the main entrance or back door.
