Love Bites: The Woodchipper Murder

Forensic science is always expanding and because of its complicated nature, scientists cannot get it right every time – no matter how hard they try, or how diligently they work. However, that isn’t to say there are no cases of intentional gross negligence and misconduct. Today, we look at a case that threatens the integrity of a prominent forensic scientist, and the ground-breaking case that helped cement that same scientist’s career.Content Warnings: this episode contains a discussion of murder, assault on a pregnant woman, discrediting of an individual with mental illnesses, and investigative negligence/corruption.EVENTS: The True Crime and Paranormal Podcast Festival will be held on August 25 - 27, 2023 in Austin, Texas.
