Collecting and Preserving Entomological Evidence at a Death Scene

While conducting decomposition research to estimate the postmortem interval (PMI) for my master’s degree, I included entomological activity and collection procedures as part of my data collection protocol. As a forensic anthropologist, I often encounter entomology on or near human remains, at a death scene. Why is it important for scene investigators to understand best practices and procedures for recognizing, documenting, collecting, preserving, storing, and shipping forensically significant entomological evidence?
 
According to Byrd et al (2010), “it is unlikely that a qualified forensic entomologist will actually be present on site for the collection and documentation activities. Therefore, it is essential that the crime scene analyst or medicolegal death investigator become well educated on the various aspects of entomological documentation and collection procedures. Properly trained death scene personnel can make entomological collections just as adequate as those of a forensic entomologist.”
 
Attendees of this 2-hour webinar should gain an understanding of how to promote common standards of practice in forensic entomology, and what to do if they encounter forensically significant entomology at a death scene.
 
Webinar topics include:
 
Part I: Forensic Entomology and Postmortem Interval (PMI) Estimations
  • What is Forensic Entomology?
  • Why is Forensic Entomological evidence important in criminal investigations?
 
Part II: Collecting and Preserving Entomological Evidence at a Scene
  • Best practices and procedures for recognizing, documenting, collecting, preserving, packaging, and shipping forensically significant entomological evidence
  • Proper chain of custody
