Determining the utility of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for disaster victim identification (DVI)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology was evaluated as a method for electronically tracking human remains and associated identifying information during mass fatality incidents. Conventional tags are prone to physical damage and failure, which can compromise identification processes and hinder the repatriation of bodies.

Sharp force trauma analysis without animal bones: A proposal for sustainable and ethical bone proxies

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Sharp force trauma has been the leading cause of homicide in England and Wales for more than a decade. Experimental research on sharp force trauma frequently relies on animal bone as a substitute for human remains, yet their ethical acceptability and comparability to human bone remain contested.

GenoEye: A machine learning‐based framework for the prediction of intermediate eye color phenotypes

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic DNA phenotyping (FDP) enables the prediction of externally visible characteristics from genetic data, providing valuable investigative leads. While current approaches achieve high accuracy for blue and brown eye color, the prediction of intermediate phenotypes such as green and hazel remains challenging, particularly in Southern ...

Forensic bruise documentation with alternate light sources: Preliminary observation on deceased individuals in a routine illuminated autopsy setting

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Alternate light sources (ALS) have been suggested to improve bruise visibility for medicolegal evaluations. Previous studies have recommended darkened conditions; however, this does not reflect real‐life autopsy settings, where multiple examinations are conducted simultaneously and turning off the lights is neither practical nor safe.

Prevalence of novel psychoactive substances in selected clinical urine specimens submitted for drug monitoring

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Novel psychoactive substances (NPS) are compounds emerging as alternatives to more established drugs of abuse. They are constantly changing and being modified, which makes their detection difficult. The study objective was to determine the prevalence of NPS in selected clinical specimens. Deidentified urine specimen remnants were analyzed that

Human‐supervised LLM triage of pig butchering complaints: A validation study of multi‐model identifier extraction

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital forensic investigations increasingly process unstructured cryptocurrency‐fraud complaints at intake while preserving analyst oversight before evidentiary or downstream investigative use. This validation study evaluates whether human‐supervised multi‐model LLM extraction can recover triage‐relevant identifiers from California DFPI pig ...

Video data recovery from slack space of pre‐allocated video files

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of video evidence from dashboard cameras is often compromised by damage, file system errors, or circular recording mechanisms that overwrite older data. Traditional digital forensic techniques primarily focus on file carving and frame recovery from the unallocated area of storage media. However, this approach is often insufficient

Diffuse cranial vault hyperostosis associated with long‐term antiepileptic therapy: Autopsy findings and differential diagnostic considerations

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Diffuse cranial vault hyperostosis is an uncommon finding and may present a diagnostic challenge in clinical and forensic practice. We report the case of a 53‐year‐old woman with a long‐standing history of epilepsy treated with phenytoin and sodium valproate who collapsed at home suddenly and died despite resuscitative efforts.
