<From bloody fingerprints to nasty drains, crime scene cleaners do their job> As Atlanta burned and her family starved and suffering closed in, Scarlett O’Hara, heroine of that epic tale, raised her fist to the sky and vowed to make things better. Whatever it took. After all, as she liked to say, tomorrow is another day. But Scarlett never pulled clumps of hair enrobed in mucus out of her shower drain to make sure she could hack it on her own. Tracy Gunn did. She reached in one day and scooped up the slimiest, squishiest wads of who-knows-what in there. And she didn’t vomit. That’s how Gunn knew, in her despair over marital woes, desperate for a steady income in Golden Gate Estates, that she could be a crime scene cleaner. Naples Daily News, by Kathleen Cullinan <$200-million bond proposal has earmark for EP crime lab> Legislators, during the session that ended last month, approved more than $200 million to build and expand DPS facilities, including replacing the crime lab in El Paso. If Texas voters approve a bond issue in November, Falknor said a brand new $7 million facility could be up and running in about three years. El Paso Times, Brandi Grissom <DNA lab in the works for St. Tammany> The St. Tammany Parish Coroner's Office is moving to open a small temporary forensic science center, equipped and staffed to do DNA analysis, in Slidell by early fall. Once up and running, the facility at the former Defense Information Systems Agency site will be able to provide DNA analysis, toxicology tests and pathology for local law enforcement agencies, the center's first executive director said Monday. Tammy Pruet Northrup said instead of waiting two years for a permanent facility to be built, the coroner's office is setting up a temporary DNA lab and center in a 3,139-square-foot building recently leased from Slidell which owns the DISA property. The Times Picayune, by Charlie Chapple <CSI unit moves into new digs> Call it CSI: Sudbury. It has been operating in the city for years, but Sudbury Regional Hospital's Northeastern Regional Forensic Pathology Unit has a new, larger location and it has been named a centre of excellence in Ontario. An official opening for the unit was held Thursday at its new digs at Sudbury Regional Hospital's Laurentian site. The unit and its staff conduct about 250 post-mortems a year, and are responsible for investigating all homicides and suspicious deaths in northeastern Ontario. They also conduct autopsies in most suicide and accident investigations, sudden unexplained natural deaths and as requested by family members or physicians. Sudbury Star - Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, by Carol Mulligan <Rochester police to open own forensic cyber lab> Police estimate it can take up to seven months for a computer seized in a criminal investigation to be analyzed by the state's forensic lab in Concord. And with cybercrimes continuing to increase, so is the wait for analysis by the state. In an effort to speed the process up and become more self-reliant, the Rochester Police Department is looking to conduct its own forensic cyber testing. Capt. Scott Dumas said it's a "real possibility" the department will do some of their testing in-house and is looking to set up a forensics lab in the station. "It's going to happen," Dumas said. "We just need to get things in place and get our officers trained. There's too much need for it in this world not to have it." Detective Kenneth Tapscott, who specializes in cybercrime, recently completed forensic training in Vermont and will likely do most of the testing when a lab is established. Detectives from Portsmouth Police Department are also expected to visit the station soon to give advice about setting up a lab. Foster's Daily Democrat - Dover, NH, by Aaron Sanborn | ||
