Forensic Recovery of Scattered & Buried Human Remains
Introduction:
Law Enforcement officers, forensic personnel, crime scene investigators, and medicolegal death investigators are often called to investigate the accidental discovery of scattered human remains and/or clandestine or exposed burials; and, if necessary-to excavate, preferably under the supervision of a forensic anthropologist. Resources and time are often scarce. Therefore, it is crucial to understand what processes and techniques of searching, locating, documenting, recovering, packaging, transporting, and storing of human skeletal remains are most efficient, yet thorough. Improper forensic recovery techniques, however well intentioned, have the potential to destroy or leave behind valuable information that may compromise the investigation or hinder the identification process.
Course Objectives:
Attendees of this 2-hour webinar will learn proper search and recovery methods used to locate, document, and recover scattered and buried human remains.
Webinar Topics Include:
Hour 1:
Determining best strategies to maximize data and evidence preservation and to minimize scene and evidence alteration.
Establishing & documenting spatial and contextual associations where evidence is found.
Hour 2:
Recovering all potential evidentiary items for: identification; cause & manner of death (if possible); scene reconstruction; clues to deposition of remains; postmortem interval (PMI); post-deposition taphonomy; geological, entomological & botanical analysis, etc.
Ensuring proper collection, storage, and transportation of human remains and associated materials.
Maintaining proper chain of custody.
Producing report and completing documentation.
This course is appropriate for CSI, law enforcement personnel, coroners/medicolegal death investigators, college students, anthropologists, and other forensic specialists and is considered at a basic to intermediate level.
