Evaluation of the (hu)MANid program for sex and ancestry estimation in a diverse,...
Human remains from forensic and bioarcheological contexts are often fragmentary, requiring methods for estimating a forensic profile that are based upon limited skeletal features. In 2017, Berg and Keryhercz created an online application, (hu)MANid, that provides sex and ancestry...
Effects of a low‐velocity fluvial environment on saw mark evidence in bone
Saws are common tools used in postmortem dismemberment to alter human remains. Dismemberment may coincide with other concealment methods such as disposal in aquatic environments, so forensic anthropologists must recognize how taphonomy affects saw mark preservation. This study fo...
Dental hygiene students' matching accuracy when comparing antemortem dental radiographs...
Matching dental antemortem (AM) and postmortem (PM) data for human identification is especially challenging when the workforce is limited. Dental hygienists have served mass fatality incidents (MFIs) due to dental‐related expertise. However, forensics within dental hygiene educat...
Metabolic profile determination of 2F‐viminol – A novel synthetic opioid identified in...
Novel synthetic opioid (NSO) continue to emerge in the United States in the midst of an opioid crisis. The NSO 2F‐viminol was identified in casework at the Center for Forensic Science Research and Education through its NPS Discovery program in 2019. Little information and publish...
Correlation of soft tissue and skeletal injuries in cases of violent death: A...
In forensic pathology, deaths due to mechanical injuries (blunt, sharp, and gunshot) require an autopsy in order to determine the cause and manner of death through a detailed examination of viscera, soft tissues, and the skeletal system. Sometimes, such as in cases of severe putr...
Infrared spectra of North American automobile original finishes. XIV: Identification of...
The naphthol reds are a family of intermediate performance monoazo organic pigments and three of its members, C.I. Pigment Red 148, C.I. Pigment Red 170 (Naphthol Red), and C.I. Pigment Red 188, have been cited as having original automotive paint applications. This study sought t...
Statistical comparisons of 0.08 g/100 ml fortified blood alcohol samples from 6‐ml and 10...
This experiment supplements the study, "Statistical comparisons of blood alcohol samples from 6‐ml and 10‐ml grey‐top tubes". The initial study analyzed fortified samples for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) using two sizes of gray‐top tubes: a 10‐ml tube containing a ...
An unusual blunt force trauma pattern and mechanism to the cranial vault: Investigation of...
This case report presents an unusual fracture pattern in the cranium of a four‐month‐old infant indicative of child abuse. Upon postmortem examination, the infant presented with numerous bilateral linear cranial fractures running perpendicular to the sagittal suture with depresse...
Psilocin – The “real deal” or an extraction byproduct
Most illicit drug casework samples at the Israel Police National Drug Laboratory are found to be mixtures of substances. Some are a mixture of an illicit drug with fillers, and others may contain more than one illicit drug. This study was triggered by a routine gas chromatography...

Effects of crime scene contaminants on surface‐enhanced Raman analysis of hair
Forensic analysis of hair is important as hair is one of the most commonly examined forms of trace evidence found at crime scenes. A growing body of evidence suggests that surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), a label‐free and non‐destructive analytical technique, can be us...
Distribution ratios of ethanol and water between whole blood, plasma, serum, and...
This article reviews the scientific literature dealing with the distribution of ethanol and water between whole blood (WB), plasma, serum, and erythrocytes (red‐blood cells). Knowledge of the ethanol distribution ratio is important when analytical results derived from hospital cl...
