Crime Insiders

FORENSICS | The Lin Family Murders


Listen Later

DNA has become the gold standard in forensic investigation. As its use is increasing, so is our understanding of its limitations.  

Jae Gerhard is the principal forensic scientist at Independent Forensic Services. Starting out as a forensic scientist at the Australian Federal Police in 2002, Jae is an expert in body fluid detection, bloodstain pattern analysis, and DNA analysis and interpretation. 

In this episode of Crime Insiders Forensics, Kathryn Fox asks Jae to take us through the process of DNA collection. How accurate it is? How is it processed? And how useful is it for evidence? Jae also tells us about Stain 91, a blood stain pattern that played a part in helping to solve one of Australia's most renowned murder investigations - the Lin Family Murders.

If you're interested in DNA and it's role in forensics, check out Secrets We Keep: Should I Spit?
