Automated particle analysis of D.B. Cooper's tie
Abstract Automated particle analysis (APA) using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy‐dispersive x‐ray spectrometry (EDS) is a well‐known method in forensics, especially as it is applied to gunshot residue analysis. Here we describe the analysis of particles lifted from D.B. Cooper's tie, which was left on the hijacked plane in 1971.

A forensic anthropological investigation of skeletal remains recovered from a 1000 year old archaeological site in North Western Namibia [PDF]
Human and faunal skeletal remains were found scattered around the base of a talus cone at the bottom of a 30 metre sinkhole at Khoraxa-ams northwest of the Central Namib Desert.

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
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
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 ...

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.
