Long‐range trajectory reconstructions using the point mass model
In shooting incident reconstructions, forensic examiners usually deal with scenes involving short‐range trajectories, typically ≤30 m. In situations such as this, a linear trajectory reconstruction model is appropriate. However, a forensic expert can also be asked to estimate a s...

Correlations of facial soft tissue thicknesses with craniometric dimensions improve...
Linear regression (LR) models that use cranial dimensions to estimate facial soft tissue thicknesses (FSTTs) have been posited by Simpson and Henneberg to assist craniofacial identification. For these regression equations to work well, the independent (craniometrics) and dependen...
An examination of commingled first tarsometatarsal and atlantoaxial joints by deviation...
This study follows up on previous research conducted by Litavec (J Forensic Sci., 68, 2023, 1780) on sorting commingled sacroiliac joints using deviation analysis. In the present report, the results of this technique are expanded to separating commingled first tarsometatarsal and...
Postmortem fingerprint identification: A novel adaptive approach to the transillumination...
Postmortem identification through fingerprints often encounters significant challenges, particularly with damaged epidermal tissue, due to factors such as carbonization, putrefaction, mummification, or saponification. Traditional techniques frequently fall short in cases involvin...
Dimensions and position of the eye for facial approximations in a South African cone beam...
Accurate population and sex‐specific normative values for the orbital and ocular dimensions, including the position and protrusion of the eye relative to the orbital rim, are vital for reliable facial approximations. In studies utilizing cadaveric tissue and computed tomography s...
