TW/CW: Child death, DV, gross bug stuff, graphic depictions of remains
In July of 2003, Bakersfield, California investigators were trying to find a killer. A woman, her mother, and her three children were brutally slain and there were very few clues and even less forensic evidence on the scene. There were no witnesses. No forced entry. Detectives hit a brick wall until one of them had the idea to test the insects on the grill and radiator of the suspect's rental car to find out just where he'd been and if he'd been in California at the time of the murders. This had never been done in California before! They would never have been able to do this without the work of Dr. AG Mearns in 1935 who was the first entomologist (insect scientist) to use maggots to find the time of death of two murdered women.
