How does DNA work and how are law enforcement officers using it to solve crimes or unsolved cases using this technology?
Believe it or not, DNA use by law enforcement did not begin until 1987, although scientists knew about its existence for decades.
They just didn't connect the dots until a British biologist Alec Jeffreys, tried a bold suggestion to British police that ended in the arrest of a serial killer.
And now in many criminal trials, the question is bound to come up: "Was there any DNA found at the scene?"

We have gone from the crime scene to the morgue to conduct a very important of part of your investigation, the forensic autopsy.
Pictured here is the storage area of a morgue with individual coolers and larger coolers used to store caskets. Detectives in this case are removing the casket which had been exhumed. It was alleged the deceased had been killed while in police custody and a judge had ordered a second autopsy for answers.
The forensic autopsy determined that the deceased had a fractured hyoid bone that proved he had hung himself while in police cells.

The body has arrived at the morgue and you are waiting for the forensic pathologist (doctor who specializes in post mortem examinations ) to determine when their examination will begin.
The procedure is to fingerprint the body if they are unidentified, present your scene photos to the forensic pathologist so they can begin and liaise with other investigators to begin.
In the opening photos, detectives remove a coffin from morgue storage, in preparation of a second autopsy. Allegations had been made about the cause of death for the deceased and their death investigation was just beginning.
