Bonus Episode Swap : Coffee & Cases Podcast Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

This bonus episode brings you a swap from our friends Allison & Maggie, the Coffee & Cases Podcast hosts. If you enjoy this episode, please consider leaving them a five-star review, and of course, remember to give their show a follow! Niki and I will be back with a new episode on Tuesday!

Coffee & Cases Show Notes:

Dead cats, cut phone lines, arson, phone calls, letters, and physical attacks-- these were all markers of the abusive stalking Cindy James dealt with for seven years. But, with no physical evidence, we wonder if there were a stalker determined to torture Cindy until she broke or whether Cindy had perpetrated all of these actions on herself.

34: The Statement Analyst 📝 Feb 14, 2023

Show notes

This week we welcome Mark McClish. Mark is a retired Supervisory Deputy United States Marshal with 26 years of federal law enforcement experience. Mark spent nine years teaching interview techniques, and during this time, he conducted research on deceptive language. He would later develop processes that determine if a person is lying or telling the truth by analyzing their language, which he refers to as Statement Analysis.

Mark explains that while there are several ways to phrase a statement, people will always word it based on all their knowledge. Therefore, their statement may contain information they did not intend to share. Even though people may want to withhold information, they inevitably give more information than they realize.

33: The Microbial Forensic Scientist 🦠 Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

This week we welcome Dr. Yvette Ghannam, and she is introducing us to the world of Microbial Forensics and biothreats.

Microbial forensics is the scientific discipline that analyzes evidence from a bioterrorism act, biocrime, hoax, or inadvertent microorganism/toxin release for attribution purposes. Microbial forensics combines the practices of epidemiology with the characterization of microbial and microbial-related evidence to assist in determining the specific source of the sample, as well as locations involved to determine the identity of the perpetrator(s) of an attack.

Microbial forensics is a layered field that includes several disciplines, from scientists, public health, law enforcement, the intelligence community, and policy and decision-makers. This interconnected system of diverse individuals helps protect us from naturally occurring disease outbreaks, like Monkey Pox, and acts of biological terrorism and bio crimes like Anthrax.

This week we welcome criminal defense lawyer Joel Schwartz. Many know Joel as the defense lawyer who defended Russ Faria, who was wrongfully convicted of murdering his wife, Elizabeth “Betsy” Faria. Betsy’s friend, Pamela Hupp, was a crucial witness in helping put Russ behind bars. And Schwartz would work endlessly to see Russ released – and to disprove Pam’s claims.

30: The FBI Forensic Artist ✍️ Jan 17, 2023

Show notes

This week we welcome retired FBI forensic artist Lisa Bailey. Lisa is a highly skilled and professionally trained individual who works alongside crime-solving teams to create visual reconstructions of suspects and victims.

And today, she guides us through creating these visual aids – the method commonly referred to as “Facial approximation” attempts to recreate a likeness of a person’s face from the features and shape of their skull. These are usually done as a ‘last ditch’ effort to develop leads to a person’s identity after traditional methods like DNA or dental records haven’t provided an identification.

Lisa’s skillset makes her an instrumental asset in helping law enforcement agents connect the dots that ultimately lead to resolutions and convictions.
