Episode notes
Forensics Is Becoming Data-Driven
- DNA technology now detects tiny, degraded samples that once were unusable.
- Computerization and AI will increasingly automate genealogy and remove human bias in forensics.
Everyday Tech Is Physical Evidence
- Technology in daily life creates physical and digital evidence that investigators must handle.
- Treat hardware as physical evidence, not just the data it contains.
Preserve Biological Evidence Proactively
- Preserve and properly freeze known biological evidence whenever possible to protect future testing.
- Prioritize storage strategies because bulky items may be hard to freeze and require planning.
