The Most Unlikely Of Clues | The New Detectives | Real Responders

Forensic entomologists study the insects found on a corpse to determine the time and cause of death, providing crucial evidence.
Forensic scientists work with a variety of methods (i.e. computer technology, anthropology, entomology) to solve crimes which would otherwise remain unsolved, through finding seemingly obscure clues such as tire tracks, bullet fragments and hair samples and then putting the pieces together. Interviews with forensic pathologists, cold case detectives and victims families show the process entailed in each case. Three separate cases are spotlighted in each episode of this series.

Ha ha ha! Yes, he sets some stereotypes to rest doesn't he? Good role model to speak to middle and high schoolers about careers in science! In reality, he has to be tough to see what he sees and cope with it. Interesting also how viewers are preoccupied about coping with bugs - but regularly dealing with decomposing corpses is not exactly a cakewalk!

I've always found insects really fascinating, and a necessary part of the ecosystem. Some are kinda gross but keep in mind that without them, humans couldn't survive so they are definitely our allies! Being a desert dweller, I used to take my friends kids out in the desert when I'd babysit and teach them about the desert creatures and insects and how to coexist safely with them, respect them, and what to do/not do. It was great to see them get excited about nature! I think every caregiver and parent should do this from a young age, it's a great way to bond and get their young minds interested in science and nature! Perhaps more young people will want to get into this most important field of study!

My heart goes out to the kids to grow up without a mother and a father, an evil father. They deserved better! And the second story of the girl from Tennessee, it is ashamed it hasn’t been solved and the family is still without answers as to how she disappeared. The third story of insects is truly amazing. Bugs might be a nuisance but they are super great solving crimes. More power to them! Great video, very interesting as well as educational.

We actually learnt abt this a little bit in medschool. Not to deep tho. Its amazing how far science has went for the past years.

26:09 How can police force decide "this is a runaway" as it did in this case? Was that "label" a convenient way to not investigate much further? Is this a voluminous problem, stating an issue is "runaway" before doing a deeper investigation? And years later find it was a murder?

[@saintlybeginnings]

It is very common that a missing teen, w/ no evidence of abduction, are overwhelmingly runaways, and very often return w/in 24-72 hours on their own. It takes tremendous resources to investigate every runaway; resources that are heavily needed for know kidnapping/ abduction/ murder/ robbery/ etc. Policies have been changed since 1987, especially with minors, due to Ronald Reagan. While it still occurs from time to time, it is less frequent & takes all context into consideration (talking w/ friends, family, etc; past history of teen, etc)

Then he would dump their bodies along the road side among the vegetation. He managed to develop a string of these murders and for a while Oahu was a very scary place to live especially if you were a young female who enjoyed dancing at the discotecs in Honolulu.
