Eyes on the water: How local mariners can accurately detect a submerged human proxy in shallow nearshore coastal water with modern recreational fish finders

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract It has recently been demonstrated that modern recreational fish finders with high‐frequency (800 kHz) Sidescan transducers can detect submerged human bodies. This ubiquitous technology is widely used on the water and has the potential to be utilized for the rapid detection of submerged decedents in any waterbody.

Area of origin analysis for expirated patterns using HemoVision

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Although bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) can be performed on various types of patterns, there is a lack of research looking into whether the area of origin (AO) can be determined for expirated patterns. Expirated patterns are formed when blood is pushed out of an opening in the body by the force of air, in some cases forming a pattern of ...

Relationships between human tibia diaphysis shape and experimental injury outcomes

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Interpretation is central to skeletal trauma analysis; however, the influence of intrinsic skeletal variation, such as long bone shape, on injury is not fully understood. While previous studies have emphasized extrinsic variables such as loading rate, direction, and number of impacts, this study investigates whether diaphyseal shape variation ...

First record of the forensically important genus Protopiophila Duda (Diptera: Piophilidae) from South Korea and an integrative framework for forensic identification

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract The family Piophilidae is of significant forensic importance due to its association with late‐stage decomposition; however, the Korean piophilid fauna remains poorly studied, lacking comprehensive morphological and molecular data. This study reports the first record of the genus Protopiophila Duda from South Korea.

Evaluation of bone preparation approaches using length‐based analysis and targeted sequencing for forensic human identification of historic skeletal remains

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Advances in DNA technology have significantly enhanced the forensic community's ability to develop genetic profiles from unidentified human skeletal remains. However, sampling requires mechanical grinding of hard tissues before DNA isolation. This processing can compromise genetic profiles, particularly in aged bones.

Stakeholders' perspectives on integrating point‐of‐care diagnostics into forensic death investigations in South Africa

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Unnatural and unexplained deaths present critical challenges to the criminal justice, medico‐legal, and public health systems. This study explored forensic professionals' perspectives on the integration of point‐of‐care (POC) diagnostics into unnatural death investigations in South Africa.
