Forensic Scientist

LIsa Black

Cape Coral, FL

Female, 49

I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.

Woah! Maxwell finally got arrested! What should be done? Did she do it? How should they protect her in prison from escape, suicide, being killed, or whatever else could be tried to get rid of her because she wants to talk? Who else do you think is involved

Asked by Clearance over 5 years ago

I have no idea.

Why do people ask you such non sense questions. If you look much of many of these questions the writing styles are the same I am getting the feeling someone or some people are messing around with the site and messing with the forms.

Weird--that looks fine in my email but is distorted on this site.

Should police departments be defunded?

Asked by Mark over 5 years ago

Again, I'm not an expert in public safety policy, so I don't know any more about the implications than you do.

What did you major in and where? Also did you have a minor?

Asked by Ramen about 5 years ago

I have a bachelor’s degree in biology from Cleveland State University. I didn’t have a minor.

If a dad commits suicide while his son is in the passenger seat, is the manner of death for the son considered as homicide? or accident?

Asked by Ritchelle about 5 years ago

If the father caused the death of the son, then it's homicide. If he didn't know the son was there, it's accident (or maybe manslaughter, I don't know the precise legalities).

Do people when you give them your email when they are asking homework or school work questions ever really email you?

Asked by Conner over 5 years ago

Sometimes. Perhaps 10% of the time.
