- Hmm, I don't see any tracks in the snow.
I think we're good.
What's going on sharers?
Welcome to the vlog, we're onto
another awesome day.
Yeah, we got a crazy snow storm last night
and as you know, in the last snow storm,
we had tracks going all the way from our merch room
all the way into the backyard but so far
I don't see any footprints in the snow.
It looks fresh and clean.
And you also saw that person walking across
the back of our property carrying some sort
of thing.
Well Grace and I took off on our mini motorcycles.
We went into the the woods where we think that
person was hiding out, and we collected some
evidence.
So today, we're going to take that evidence,
and we're going to dust it for fingerprints,
and try to figure out who this person is.
So while I've been waiting for Grace, I've just
been looking out the window for any signs,
any clues of anyone coming, but I think we're
pretty good, and oh!
Baby Otter say hi to the sharers.
Yeah, you tired today?
(dog makes squeaking noise)
yeah, you are.
(knocking on door)
Chris?
Hmmm. Hold on.
Sheila? Chris? Hmmm.
She's not in there.
Maybe she's getting ready to give her room
to her or something.
If Grace isn't in her room, I don't know where
she could be.
I've looked everywhere.
Maybe she's outside.
- [Grace} Stephen, Stephen, right Here
- Oh. Hey Grace.
- Hey Sharers how's it going?
- You ready to go dust for some fingerprints?
- Yeah I was just putting the little baby down
for a nap.
- Oh yeah, sharers. Check it out.
If you didn't see Grace's vlog, we unveiled
the big surprise we have for you.
This is our new puppy.
Oh yeah, he's just a few weeks old, and he's
sleeping right now. Oh!
Maybe you got a little energy, you want to play
a little bit? Yeah, hi, say hi to the sharers.
- Yeah sharers, he's just a few weeks old.
We're still trying to figure out a name, so
comment down below any good name ideas.
OK, you go back to bed, you sleep, you need
to take your nap 'cause you're just a baby.
- [Stephen] Yeah you take your nap, OK?
We're gonna go dust for fingerprints, see if
we can solve this, OK?
Alright, Grace, you ready?
- Yeah. I'm ready.
- OK, let's go Grace.
So sharers, I ordered a bunch of fingerprint
mystery spy device things on Amazon.
I think we'll be able to scrape a lot
of data off this stuff.
- Yeah, we're about to figure out who this is.
- And we set up the merch room, we turned it
into a laboratory, so check this out.
Oh! Yeah. Here we go, we got our mystery
detective board, of all the places we've spotted
the Game Master around the Sharer fam house.
And now we have test tubes we can use, as well
as a microscope.
Check this thing out, it can go up to
40 times.
(bang)
Oh!
- That scared me.
- That was just so (unclear)
- And these are the three items we found
in the woods.
We put them in zip lock bags, so they
wouldn't get contaminated.
- Alright guys, I guess we better start with
evidence number one.
- The glove?
- The glove.
See if we can scrape any evidence off this thing,
so let's lay this thing on the laboratory table.
Oh you know what?
We've got to make sure we don't contaminate
the contamination piece.
- Right.
- We better go get our lab ooats on.
- Oh, good idea.
- Sharers, hang on one moment.
Oh yeah, now we're ready to go.
Grace, you got the briefcase?
- I got the briefcase.
- So sharers, inside this briefcase is all the
tools that we need in order to scrape data off
this stuff.
We can scrape any type of DNA.
Fingerprints, we can get like hair samples,
all that good types of stuff, so let's get this
thing open.
Let's see what's inside.
- Let's move that evidence over.
Whoa!
- [Stephen] Oh yeah, here we go.
- [Grace] Wait, top secret!
- [Stephen] This is for the top secret evidence
that we're going to find.
- Oh, look at all these things.
- [Stephen] Yeah, so we got dusting powder that
you can use to dust for fingerprints.
We got our brush for that as well.
We have a USB drive where we can put all the
data we find on it.
We got a cotton swab to swab for evidence,
and if we do find fingerprints or anything,
we can stick them onto these clear glass
test strips, and we can put them underneath the
microscope and we can really zoom in and find the
fine detail.
- Ooh, this is part of the most important thing,
Steve.
- [Stephen] Wait, what is it?
- It's the warning caution thing.
We should put it up so Baby Otter, the new
sharer fam member, and Mom don't come in.
- [Stephen] Oh yeah, we should stick that on
the door.
- So look here, to here.
- Perfect.
So now we are an active crime scene.
Let's get to work.
Got to grab our first piece of evidence,
and figure out what kind of data is on there.
- OK let's figure this out.
- Wait, Grace, before you start, we got to open
the top secret envelope.
These are the evidence cards that we need to be
able to fill out by the end of this.
We will find the name, the age, the gender,
whether they're left or right handed, the
pattern type as well as a photo of who this
person is.
So for now, Grace, we're going to put Game Master
on here, because we don't know who the actual
Game Master is.
But the Game Master are the pieces of evidence that
we're going to test.
OK, so we got to get some fingerprints if we can,
put all data together, we can run it through
the database.
- Yeah, let's get started!
- So Grace, we got to be careful not to
contaminate the evidence.
So to do that, I have got my plier thingeys,
so let's go ahead, reach in here, pull out the
glove very carefully.
- [Grace] I already see marks on it.
- [Stephen] Yeah. There's definitely some
brown spots and stuff.
So in order to do this Grace, first thing
we can do, is do you have that black light?
Where is that black light pen?
- [Grace] I got it right here Steve.
- Perfect.
So sharers, this may look like an average pen,
but on the end we have a black light.
If we use this black light to scan the glove,
we can see if there's any potential fingerprints.
So Grace, go ahead and kill the lights.
- Got these hidden lights.
- OK. Let's scan it up. Here we go. Ready?
(scanning noise)
Scanning.
- [Grace] Anything?
- [Stephen] I'm seeing, do you see these little
bright white little dots?
- [Grace] Oh, wait go back.
(crosstalk)
- [Stephen] Can you see this?
Right like there, do you see those?
- [Grace] Yeah, and there's one right over here.
- [Stephen] One over there, too.
So we've got some stuff.
- [Grace] One there.
- [Stephen] Yeah, that might be a piece of hair,
hang on.
- [Grace] Oh yeah, that might be.
- Let me use my other pair of pliers and see if
we can scrape this piece of data off right here.
Here we go.
Three, two, one.
It's a piece of fiber, I think.
- [Grace] I got it.
- [Stephen] We got it.
OK I'm gonna take this little tiny piece
of evidence, and I'm going to stick it into
this test tube right here.
- [Grace] OK.
- Make sure it went down.
There it is at the very bottom.
- [Grace] Yep, I see it at the very bottom,
that little little dot.
- We can put this aside for evidence, this is perfect
Grace.
First pieces of evidence off the glove, now let's
go ahead and flip the glove over and see what else
we can find.
- [Grace] More?
- [Stephen] Yeah, you're right Grace.
- [Grace] There's one right there!
- [Stephen} You're Right, There's More Pieces.
OK, you know what?
- [Grace] What, Steve?
- This glove has enough evidence, we can do
a formaldehyde on it.
- Formalda what?
- Formaldahyde.
- What's that?
- We take this red test tube, filled with
formaldehyde, and it will really expose to a
greater scale exactly what type of evidence is
on this glove.
- [Grace] Ooh, OK.
- Actually, before we do this, turn the lights
back on.
- [Grace] Got the lights, Steve.
- OK, you ready?
- [Grace} I'm Ready.
- We're gonna pour this on the glove, we're gonna
aim it towards the fingerprints, and then we
should be able to press them onto this card,
and we should have some sort of fingerprints
show up.
- [Grace] OK.
- [Stephen] Here we go, ready? Three, two, one,
go, here we go.
- [Grace] Whoa.
- [Stephen] Here we go. We're getting somewhere.
Just a little drop of each is all we need.
Here we go, OK.
If there's any fingerprints on here, they should
start showing up within a couple seconds.
- [Grace] OK.
- [Stephen] Here we go. Let's see, let's go
ahead and press it in a little bit more.
Just like that.
- [Grace] Steve, I'm not seeing anything,
are you?
- [Stephen] Oh yeah, we got something coming.
Hang tight, it's developing.
- [Grace) OK.
- The chemical is still developing.
OK let's flip this over.
- [Grace] OK.
- Okay now that it's soaked in this formaldehyde
all we have to do is take this special blue
dropper, and then the fingerprint should reverse
and pop out of here.
(suspenseful music)
Ready, dropping in three, two, one.
And, go.
We should be able to get at least a partial
fingerprint off this thing, so let me grab
one of these vials.
We'll stick it on here and we'll transfe
it over.
- You think this is going to work?
- Grace, I know this is gonna work.
Check it out. Boom. We got a match.
(Grace gasps)
- [Grace] Was that the fingerprint?
- That's a fingerprint, that's what a fingerprint
looks like.
- [Grace] That's so cool.
- That's perfect, Grace.
OK we got our first fingerprint shared.
Now Grace we're gonna take the DNA card
we're gonna push the glass thing on top
of it, lift carefully and boom.
- [Grace] Whoa.
- We got a pointer finger.
- [Grace] Whoa, that's so cool.
- First piece of evidence down.
I think we're ready to move onto the next
piece, Grace.
- Sharer's that was so cool!
We got a fingerprint!
I wonder what we'll find from the scissors and
the mat?
- Let's put this back in the evidence bag
just in case you can maybe find more evidence
in the future if we need to, but we'll seal
this up, and put it away for safe keeping.
OK onto evidence number two, the scissors.
This is really weird because we found the
scissors in a tree.
- [Grace] Yeah, why would they need scissors?
- I don't know.
Let's open this thing up, let's use these
plier things, let's grab these scissors
out of here. OK. We got the scissors.
Now we just got to figure out how we can get
fingerprints off this thing.
So I'm thinking what we can do, Grace,
is we can use this dust powder, and we can
dust for fingerprints.
- [Grace] OK.
- So if I'm right, Grace, all we have to do is
use this brush to fuss this dust, and brush it
over top of these scissors, and we should be able
to figure out if there's any sort of fingerprint
on this thing.
Oh it's actually working, Grace, look at this.
- [Grace] (gasps) Look at that!
(crosstalk)
- [Grace] You can see the little ridges!
- [Stephen] Told you, we're on to something.
Oh, it's a thumb Grace, it's definitely
a thumb.
- [Grace] Wait, how do you know that?
- [Stephen] You can just tell.
It's big because think about it, when you
use scissors, use your index finger and the
thumb, and the thumb goes on that one right
there. It's definitely a thumb.
Let me just do a couple more brushes and we should
have enough to pull this thumb off this thing.
- [Grace] Sure, it smashes like fun.
This is so cool, we're getting a thumbprint off
pink scissors we found in the woods,
that's crazy!
- Yes, sharers, no Game Master can hide their
evidence from us, this is perfect.
Now we can take this piece of tape
- [Grace] Wait, tape?
- Yeah, tape. You lay the tape over the
scissors like this, this is how you pull the
fingerprint off.
- [Grace] Whoa, no way!
- [Stephen] Yeah, so just like this, you lay
it on, you dab it on top of the scissors just
like that
- [Grace] So you like press it down?
- Press it down, and then Grace when we peel
it off, voila, can you see that?
- [Grace] Wait, where's the thumbprint?
- You can see it right there
(points to it)
- [Grace] Oh that dot right there?
- Yeah. So to make it even easier what we can do
is we can take one of these vials, take it out
just like we did last time, we'll transplant
the fingerprint onto this vial right here and
we'll stick it on right on the chart just
like that.
- [Grace] Perfect.
- Here we go, ready? Press down, over top,
we gotta get a good transplant of this.
Lift and
- [Grace] Anything?
- Do you see it now? Even better?
- [Grace] Yeah.
- You can really see the fingerprint, right?
- [Grace] Oh yeah, look at that, there's a
thumbprint.
- And now Grace, we'll transfer this over to the
piece of paper right on the thumbprint.
Just like that.
- [Grace] Perfect, look at that!
- And there we go sharers, so far we got a
thumbprint, and a pointer finger.
- [Grace] That's awesome.
- We're making some good use of this.
Grace, I think it's time to scrape evidence
off number three.
- [Grace] The mat.
- The mat that we found in the woods.
What are we gonna find off this thing?
- I kind of think, how will we get fingerprints
off that, because it goes around your mouth.
Feel like that might be hard.
- I don't know, there's only one way to find
out though.
Let's put it down and see what we can scrape.
You already know the next step, let's put
these scissors back in the evidence bag, seal
it up, and let's move on to this.
So Grace, you're thinking we can't get any
fingerprints off it, right?
- [Grace] I don't think so, it just seems
a little bit hard.
- That's why, Grace, we're going to do the
swab test.
- What's the swab test?
- The swab test helps determine if there's any
DNA from your mouth or anything like that on here.
So what we can do Grace is we can take the swab
brush, and we can swab all around this scanning
for any DNA.
- That's really cool, 'cause you can get DNA
from your saliva.
- What we'll do Grace is we'll take the mask,
we'll flip it over to the inside where you
put it up like this to wear?
Don't worry, I didn't put it in my mouth.
What we'll do is we'll take this swab device,
and we'll swab all over the inside of this.
What we're doing right now sharers is we're
trying to grab any sort of DNA that can be
on here, so we're just gonna swab
- [Grace] From his mouth.
- Yeah, from his mouth.
OK, Grace.
Something's on here, can you hand me
one of the green vial tubes?
- [Grace] A green tube? OK here's green.
Why green?
- Because this should help extract anything
that's on here.
Take this out, and we stick this in here, just
like this, we should be able to mix it around.
- [Grace] I see stuff falling off of it.
- OK hang on.
After we twirl it around a little bit, see it's
already scraping off some clues, we drop
the rest of this in, we cap this test tube up,
give it a little shake, and now Grace if we put
this in the evidence bag we should be able to send
it off to the secret safe house laboratory, and
they can extract clues and evidence from it.
- See, that's perfect. Here, stick it in the
evidence bag, and we'll mail it in.
- Perfect. Just like that, and Grace that's not
the only data we can pull from this mask.
- What? What else can we do?
- Sharers, check this out.
Grace, when you put a mask on, how do you put
a mask on?
- With your fingers.
- Yes, but more reasonably, you take a mask, and
you put the straps over the top of your head,
so I'm thinking we can scrape this for some
pieces of hair.
- (gasps) Oh yeah, 'cause the things always get
stuck in my hair.
- Yeah, and look at this, this might actually be
a piece of hair, do you see this right here?
- [Grace] You think that's hair?
- [Stephen] Do you see that?
- [Grace] Yeah I see it.
- That's definitely a piece of hair.
It's so small and skinny, but it's definitely
a piece of hair.
- [Grace] (gasps) I see it.
- Can you see that?
- [Grace] Yep.
- We can put this right on the card, just like
that, one piece of hair, and then if we are very
careful we might be able to find more pieces.
- [Grace] Look at the back of the strap will get
tied in your hair.
Is that one?
- [Stephen] That might be a piece of hair, too.
- [Grace] Can't tell.
- [Stephen] Can you see that?
- [Grace] I see it. Is that hair?
- [Stephen] That's hair, I think.
Pull it off, this is very small, got it.
Very very very small.
That's definitely a strand of hair
- [Grace] Oh, it matches.
- [Stephen] Yeah, let's fold it in there.
So we got two strands of hair, now Grace I just need
a piece of tape.
- [Grace] Here I got some tape.
- Perfect. Now Grace, let's just take this
piece of tape, very carefully we got to lay it
over the top of the hair, just like that.
- [Grace] Perfect, look at the hair, it's stuck now.
- We got the hair stuck, now we can probably peel
this off very carefully and slowly.
Bingo, Grace.
- [Grace] Why are you peeling it off?
- We got the hair, just like this, locked on,
do you see it?
- [Grace] Yep I see it.
- Perfect. We got the hair, and now we'll just
move it down here, 'cause we didn't find any
other fingerprints, but what we'll do is we'll
label this, we'll cross out that finger,
we'll cross out the ring finger, we'll cross
out the pinkey finger, and we'll put
"hair for evidence."
- [Grace] Perfect!
- OK, we should be good, Grace.
- Sharers, smash the like button with all this
evidence, we're about to figure out who this
person is.
- So what we'll do Grace is take this card,
stick it in this evidence envelope just like this
as well as this USB drive.
- [Grace] Because that USB drive is what the
information will come back on.
- Exactly, so what we'll do is we'll tape this up
and we'll send it off to safe house laboratories,
and get it processed.
This is evidence case number one.
- [Grace] Whoa. It's cool.
- Grace?
- Yeah?
- It asks for the suspect.
- Suspect? Comment down below who you think
the suspect is.
- Yeah, who do we think it is?
Oh, hmmm. I'll put that down.
I think we're ready to send this off.
- [Grace] Let's do it.
- Hopefully the mail hasn't come yet today
and we can get it delivered today.
Come on, we got to get to mail
(runs into crime scene tape and shouts)
- Well, it's not an active crime scene anymore.
Let's go.
- Wait, Steve, we should check on the radio
transmitter, let's see if it's charged.
- We got to put this in the mail first because
the mailman forgot to come, Grace, and then
we can go check on the device thing.
- OK, yeah, you're right. Let's put that in the
mailbox before we forget.
- And it might be snowing but that's not gonna
stop us, come on Grace.
- [Grace] Whoa it's so deep. We got so much snow.
- Made it just in time, put that evidence
in there.
- [Grace] Close it up.
- Hopefully the mailman comes soon.
- [Grace] Oh, is that him?
- No, that's just a big snow plow truck.
- [Grace] Whoa, look at the snow plow!
Steve watch out!
(snow plow honks at them)
- Alright sharers, we'll see you in the next
vlog, hopefully we'll have our results back,
if you haven't already hit that subscribe button
turn on books notification, and until next time,
you know what to do, stay awesome, and share
the love. Peace.
