I-15 murders

So this week on CSI we saw an episode where middle age ladies were being kidnapped by some truckers and frozen, then dropped off on the interstate. Their deductions were interesting. I found the handwriting analysis pretty cool. I didnt know that that type of technology and information was available. Furthermore, I found it pretty sweet how the traffic control lady was able to narrow down results to just one suspect. Everything in this episode seemed fairly believable, i didnt think there was much that did not seem real. What do you guys think?

Entomology in CSI

Entomology- is the scientific study of insects. Insects have many kinds of interactions with humans and other forms of life on earth, so it is an important specialty within biology. To the trained forensic entomologist, insects provide vital clues concerning the time and circumstance of a death, whether or not a body was moved, the timing of infliction of wounds, and whether or not drugs or toxins contributed to the victims demise. In addition to homicides, forensic entomology is also used to help solve crimes and civil issues involving abuse and neglect, stored products and structural defects. I really enjoyed the CSI episode where Grisome used insects to determine the time of death of Keye. Based on research that our group did earlier, it seems that Entomology is actually used in CSI investigations. Therefore, our group agrees with the CSI episode. We found it kind of disgusting when Grisome used the pig however.
