Customer Reviews
A dispute between two people in an empty warehouse leads to a murder. There are no witnesses and the only evidence is a few blades of grass from the outside, a coating of dust, and houseflies. Dr. Jennifer Gardy is a molecular epidemiologist at the Centre for Disease Control in British Columbia, and under her expertise the program sorts through the bizarreness and the science that is involved in forensic investigations. Dr. Gardy shows how technologies can be used with different natural detection techniques to find the truth. The film also focuses on another crime investigation technique that must be used: patient and careful observation. (44 minutes)
Segments in this video include:
The Science of Crime: Introduction – The viewers are introduced to the upcoming video about how nature is used for crime solving.
Forensic Science – Dr. Jennifer Gardy is a disease detective. In this segment she describes her job. Professor Gail Anderson is an entomologist who explains how bugs are studied in a crime scene.
An Odd Clock – The first insects that can be identified on a pig carcass are maggots. Professor Anderson collects them for additional studies. The development of maggots can be used to estimate how long a corpse has been decomposing.
VENUS Laboratory – A unique underwater study begins at the Victoria Experimental Network. Experts can watch the decomposition of a carcass in real time using a remote camera.
Forensic Botany – Gerard Courtin discusses how vegetation can reveal the length of time that a skull has been in one area.
Realistic Simulations – Gerard Courtin gives an overview of what he looks for when investigating a crime scene. Forensic botanists can determine the location of a murder in multiple ways.
