- Questions from Kids: What is Rigor Mortis?
A quick review of the basics of what rigor mortis is, what it is not, and what it can tell us about a case. The second half of the episode is more scientifically intensive and is intended to answer questions we received from adults about rigor mortis.

Often you hear it mentioned in cases-- like the "Jack the Ripper" killings-- that a perpetrator exhibited "surgical skill". There are a few problems with this and it can easily lead investigators (professional and avocational alike) away from the guilty party if they are not careful.
11 min - Reasons Why Some Aircraft are Never Found
A quick and straightforward general explanation for why aircraft go missing and why we have to put up with nonsense like the "Bermuda Triangle", etc.
