Automated particle analysis of D.B. Cooper's tie
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. Coop...
Determination of mitragynine concentrations in medicolegal death investigations at the...
The prevalence of mitragynine, the major psychoactive component in kratom, has increased in forensic toxicology casework due to its current legal status and ease of accessibility in local shops and the online community. This study presents 28 death investigation cases from 2022 t...
Evaluation of illicit drug contaminants in seized cannabis in Arizona and California, 2023...
Despite public health concerns, fentanyl, cocaine, and other illicit drug contaminants remain largely understudied in unregulated cannabis. Here, we developed an analytical method to quantify a panel of common illicit drugs in cannabis and tested the law enforcement seizures in A...
From 15,000 to near zero: Cuyahoga County's eight‐year effort to address lawfully “owed”...
This study presents the final outcomes of an eight‐year, countywide initiative to address "lawfully owed" DNA (LODNA) among individuals who should have had a DNA sample in the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) following a qualifying arrest or conviction but did not. Bui...
Discriminative features and contextual cognitive bias effects between robotic and natural...
This study aims to systematically identify the discriminative features between robotic and natural handwriting and explore how contextual conditions influence the classification accuracy of two groups of discriminators: forensic document examiners and nonexaminers. Repeated measu...
Analysis of circumstances in police‐related fatalities comparing medical examiner records...
Assessing circumstances surrounding police‐related deaths is hampered by the absence of an official national database. The National Vital Statistics System, which compiles death certificates filed by medical examiners and coroners, misses approximately one‐half of deaths due to p...
Diagnostic correction based on toxicology: A case of combined dichlorvos (DDVP), ethanol,...
Organophosphate pesticides (OPs) are commonly encountered toxic substances in poisoning incidents, often associated with severe clinical symptoms. The diagnosis and treatment become more complicated, especially when mixed with other toxic substances, requiring detailed toxicologi...
Investigation of eosin Y as a colorimetric sensor for the detection of fentanyl...
The increasing prevalence of fentanyl within the illegal global drug market underscores the need for rapid, low‐cost, and straightforward detection methods. Eosin Y demonstrates a measurable color change in the presence of fentanyl, making it a promising candidate for colorimetri...
Atypical short tandem repeat allelic patterns in a sexual assault case involving...
Short tandem repeat (STR) profiling is a cornerstone of forensic DNA analysis, particularly during criminal investigations. However, certain clinical conditions, such as bone marrow transplantation, can complicate interpretation. To illustrate the impact of allogeneic bone marrow...
Preserving evidence integrity in full file system extractions: Assessing hash...
Smartphone manufacturers' enhanced privacy and security measures, such as File‐Based Encryption (FBE), have disrupted traditional data extraction techniques, necessitating the adoption of Full File System Extraction (FFS). FFS requires booting a smartphone, decrypting its Us...
