July 17, 2023 TCB Interview DNA Expert FRANCINE BARDOLE
Please help us welcome Francine Bardole to True Crime Broads.
With twenty-five-plus years in the field of Criminal Justice, working 20 of those years with law enforcement as a crime scene investigator and forensic specialist. Francine has invested the past fifteen years in becoming an expert in her field of Crime Scene Investigation and Forensics, educating students and investigators, helping solve cold cases, discovering and implementing superior tools for collecting DNA, and giving a voice to silent victims.
Francine attended The National Forensics Academy, also known as the Body Farm, in Knoxville, Tennessee, under the sponsorship of Patricia Cornwall, a renowned Contemporary Crime Writer who paved the way for forensic thrillers in literature and cinema. There, Francine received intensive hands-on training in various aspects of crime scene investigation. She studied death investigation and body decomposition by collecting, identifying, and preserving evidence, interpreting wounds and blood spatter, learning the autopsy process, and providing a criminal investigation analysis.
Francine has since specialized in Forensic Serology and DNA as she felt having a better understanding of DNA would prove to be an asset when working with law enforcement at crime scene investigation and determining probative evidence.
In search of new techniques, Francine took notice of new DNA extraction technologies. One is the M-Vac, a wet vacuum system that collects 12% more DNA than most laboratories' traditional DNA collection methods. This method has been pivotal in solving numerous cold cases.
Francine developed the Bardole Method, which extracts DNA from small and complicated items of evidence customarily thought to have no value or ability to provide enough DNA. The Journal of Science and Justice has peer-reviewed her method as getting 26% more DNA than other methods.
With her desire to help solve cold cases, she opened her own business, offering free consulting from the crime scene to evidence processing and the entire laboratory process. The outcome is essential to working together and understanding the best technology, laboratory, and forensic experts for a case. She is the Forensic Director of the Cold Case Foundation, a non-profit organization assisting law enforcement and families with their case with the help of forensic experts from all over the United States.
Francine has been fundamental in helping solve cases and the release of the wrongly convicted through her DNA extraction methods. In addition, Francine has assisted numerous law enforcement agencies and families throughout the United States in solving cases.
