Just a real quick question, I promise not to waste your time I understand your profession is dark so I'm not gonna beat around the bush it's gonna get really dark really fast. Can you describe to me what digging up 40 year old fetus would be like? And would it throw a coroner's testing off to wether or not it's human?

Hello, to anyone working in New York City's OCME, specifically autopsy techs, quick question; how long does training (including on the job training) take? How long before a recently hired employee actually sees a decedent? Asking for a paper I'm writing. Cheers and thanks!

I want to include the cold case of Geraldine Holland in an upcoming blogpost and would like to include her photo. I have submitted a FOIA request for her case files, (no word on this yet) found her death certificate & obituary on Ancestry.com. Contacted Longwood University to ask for corroboration of a photo of Geraldine Holland in their 1974 yearbook. (They respond that not enough information existed to confirm.) Contacted the library in Nottoway County, Virginia to help me track down a yearbook photo. We couldn’t find one. Looked on FindaGrave but can’t find her. I hate that she ha ..read more

I suspect someone broke into my car and put something in it to harm me. How do I get any public surveillance footage that may have caught it.

Hello!
Would love recommendations for everyone’s favorite brushes/powders for latent processing. My lab gave us brushes to use but they’re on their last legs. Would also love specific powder recommendations as I’ve heard our black powder is “worse” than other agencies (from people that have worked elsewhere).
Thanks!

My elderly father was scammed out of a lot of money a few days ago. It was a classic scam that scumbags run on seniors.- they called him, gave him a fake "relative needing bail money" story and he went right to the bank, got some cash and gave it to them.. I printed my father's phone records and gave it to the sheriff's department. Question is- I'm sure the numbers are from a burner phone or it's a spoofed number. Does law enforcement have a way to figure out who called him?
