About Lisa Desire
Lisa Desire has more than 28 years’ experience in the fields of forensic biology and DNA analysis, with much of her career spent working for NYC’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner, the largest lab of its kind in North America. During her tenure, she investigated thousands of homicides, sexual assaults, and missing persons cases, and was a supervisor of Victim identification for the World Trade Center attack, the most complicated forensic investigation in the history of the United States and one that continues to this day. She testifies as an Expert Witness in our criminal justice system, has earned the distinctions of lab inspector and FBI DNA auditor, and was presented with the NYPD’s Centurion Award and Honor Legion’s Certificate of Merit for her contributions on a high-profile serial killer case. Lisa used her experiences to create Prime Suspect LLC, an education and consulting company that brings forensic information to students, teachers, attorneys and law enforcement.
Lisa received her Bachelor of Science degree in Genetic Engineering from Cedar Crest College, and her Master of Science degree in Forensic Science from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. She’s currently employed as a CODIS DNA Subject Matter Expert, and published her first book Goodnight CSI.
