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.

I'm sorry but that's a very broad question. What kind of pattern and impression evidence are you talking about?

How long does an iPhone have to be submerged in lake water before it can’t be used to find locations or contacts?

Asked by J.H. Paree almost 7 years ago

I have absolutely no idea. I asked my coworker (who does digital forensics) this one time because I wanted to get rid of some old phones, but she didn't know either. I smashed them with a hammer and then soaked them in my pool for about ten minutes, but of course I have no way to know if that completely worked.

Today I tried to log into the forums, using my correct username and password and I received the message that the username/password were incorrect.I tried again, but the same thing happened. I checked my username and password spelling and yet they were correct, but I still got an error message. I had to reset my password. Why? I am totally sure that the credential I put in the login form were right and no one can change my credential.

My school is offering 2 community health service courses that are credited. Will these courses be any help with forensic science or forensic anthropology?

Asked by Crazykid over 7 years ago

I'm sorry but I don't know what a community health service course is, but I would think any information about the medical field would always be helpful.
