REWIND | A special Science Week episode

It’s National Science Week….Australia’s annual celebration of science and technology. In this episode of Crime Insiders Rewind, we re-visit three episodes of our Forensics series to learn how science helps us better understand how examining the human body contributes to solving crime or even someone being exonerated, and fibre and the role that fibre plays in solving crimes. We begin with forensic anthropologist Penny McArdle to determine if pigs can actually destroy a body.  Then it’s Dr Micah Newland, the Deputy Director at the Australian Facility for Taphonomic Experimental Research to discuss what’s called time since death and finally we’re joined by distinguished Professor Claude Roux -a pivotal figure in Australian Forensic Science. He's the Director of the UTS Centre for Forensic Science and President of the International Association of Forensic Sciences.  Claude discusses a case from the mid-90s where fibre was critical in solving a murder…. ***Please be advised that this episode’s case studies may contain content that some listeners may find distressing.
