I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.
I can't click on links I don't recognize. What's it about?
My lab doesn’t have the ability to test vials of any time. We would send any liquid samples to the state lab.
I've never known anyone who became one of our victims, so no.
I have not seen it.

Has being an OBGYN affected your own beliefs about when "life" begins?
I think I am an expert in some areas of forensic science. I am not an expert in law, public safety policy or our political system.
No, nothing is cleaned. It’s just dried and then kept as is. For one thing you might want to do more testing in the future so you’d never want to wash your evidence away.
It depends on what you want to do. I've always used only basic addition, division etc., for calculating reagents. Accident reconstruction would probably require a bit more and maybe DNA analysis, but I don't really know. Best of luck!
