The Science Behind Forensic Entomology: A Deep Dive with Dr. Roland Kohr
Welcome to another gripping episode of Kohroner Chronicles, where we unravel the mysteries of forensic science with Dr. Roland Kohr. In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of forensic entomology—the study of insects in criminal investigations. How do tiny creatures help solve some of the most perplexing murder cases? Tune in to find out!
How Insects Help Solve Crimes
Did you know that insects, particularly flies and beetles, are nature’s detectives? These creatures arrive at a body in predictable waves, allowing forensic scientists to estimate the post-mortem interval (PMI). Dr. Kohr shares real-life cases where blowflies, the first responders to a crime scene, played a pivotal role in establishing timelines and uncovering the truth.
The Process of Forensic Entomology
Step into the shoes of a forensic entomologist. Dr. Kohr breaks down how insect samples are collected at crime scenes, how environmental factors like temperature and humidity influence their activity, and how these tiny clues are analyzed in the lab. By tracking the life cycle of maggots, investigators can determine when a person died—crucial information that can make or break a case.
