Forensic Scientist

LIsa Black

Cape Coral, FL

Female, 49

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.

We recently received a biology report. The typical Random Match Probability was at 13,000 times more likely. Does this mean I am a grandparent?

Is there a job for a forensic scientist to only work cold cases? I want to be a forensic scientist but I believe I won't be able to handle crime scenes. Do you get used to seeing the horrible crime scenes through the years or months?
