Abstract
Stable isotope analysis is a valuable tool in forensic investigation. Recently, isotopic investigation is in great trend, Forensic discipline is making use of multi-purpose isotopic profiles along with isotopic landscapes or isoscapes from body tissues. These isotopes help in predicting the geographical location or origin of the unidentified body. Isotope analysis is a commendable and powerful tool for geolocation and can provide investigative leads to the investigating officer as well as forensic experts. This review article basically focuses on the hydrogen isotopes and their applications in forensic science. Being a bio-element, it is ubiquitous and has immense biological and chemical significance. We have discussed the role of hydrogen isotopes in different disciplines of forensic science such as forensic biology, wildlife forensics, forensic anthropology, forensic chemistry and toxicology etc. and the newer advancements that are employed in this discipline for making the analysis more accurate and robust. This field is still in its growing stage and hence, with more advancements, it will provide a great aid in forensic investigation.
