If it the ability doesn't read what a person consciously witnessed, remembers, or did, but actually reads the residual psychic impressions off him just like it would read them off a murder weapon or a ritual altar, then I don't think it overlaps telepathic abilities or Empathy at all. At that stage, you're simply including a filter that screens out the interference caused by living things (or some other babble). However, given that people witness most of the things that make items and events interesting, this definitely concentrates your ability to learn a lot of information! I would say that's a significant enhancement, probably comparable to Cosmic, +50% or Directed, +50% in overall impact.
So call it Affects Living, +50%, and make clear that it can't probe minds . . . it reads the events that cling like dust to a person. It should requires contact (at least a handshake). I would further specify that, like regular Psychometry, it never confirms who did what; e.g., if you read a murderer and a witness, you'll never get a good enough look at the face to be 100% sure which is which.
