Reevaluating skeletal sex estimation practices in forensic anthropology

Understanding practitioner preferences in method selection and reporting for skeletal sex estimation is a necessary step toward the standardization of biological profile estimation within forensic anthropological practice in the United States. To better understand the current sta...

Laser‐induced breakdown spectroscopy/laser ablation coupled to inductively coupled plasma...

The tandem LIBS/LA‐ICPMS technique is a desirable tool for the multi‐elemental determination, characterization, and classification of alloys as forensic evidence. In this study, LIBS/LA‐ICPMS is validated for the forensic evaluation of lead‐free solder alloys, which form valuable...

Potential for DNA loss during collection and packaging of fired cartridge cases at a crime...

DNA recovery from fired cartridge cases (FCCs) found at a crime scene is complicated by the limited DNA amounts typically available for collection. While this challenge is unavoidable, recovery rates may be improved by optimizing handling and packaging processes to better preserv...

Screening for clandestine graves via the analysis of infrared images and temperature...

Locating a clandestine grave is a challenging yet crucial step in a criminal investigation and eventual prosecution. Many techniques have been used to locate clandestine graves, including light detection and ranging and ground penetrating radar. Recently, thermal imaging has also...

Analysis of N,N‐dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and its metabolites using LC–MS/MS for forensic...

Ayahuasca contains N,N‐dimethyltryptamine (DMT), the primary alkaloid responsible for its psychedelic effects. DMT oxidative deamination yields indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) as the predominant metabolite, while N‐oxidation produces N,N‐dimethyltryptamine‐N‐oxide (DMT‐NO) as the seco...

Development of forensic blood substitute: Focusing on luminol reaction functionality

Bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) is essential for reconstructing crime scenes using the shape and distribution of bloodstains. Luminol, which emits blue light in a chemiluminescent reaction with hemoglobin, is commonly used to detect latent blood. Artificial blood substitutes, d...

False negative ELISA screen for benzoylecgonine in blood using the Neogen® assay

Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a common analytical tool for screening samples in forensic toxicology laboratories, but it can be susceptible to interferences. The analysis of paired blood and oral fluid samples from the same subject led to the identification of a fa...
