The Twiggs County John Doe, Part 2: Truth’s in the Lab

The second episode covering The Twiggs County John Doe offers a deep dive into the science behind the cutting-edge--and most fascinating--techniques used in the identification of Does, and how these forensic advances might help in this middle Georgia case. We speak with isotopic expert Dr. Leslie Fitzpatrick, who is a biological anthropologist and bioarchaeologist and is a faculty member in the department of Applied Forensic Sciences at Mercyhurst University. We also interview Dr. Kelly Harkins Kincaid, CEO of Astrea Labs, about their cutting-edge techniques and the application in identification cases.
