Clandestine grave detection & time since death – Where do we stand?
Overview
Finding the remains of victims is crucial for forensic investigators to make convictions, but more importantly for justice to prevail and families to have closure. Approaches used to locate and detect victims' remains and clandestine graves are often limited.
This talk will give an overview of current trends in clandestine grave detection and will look at how time-since interval estimations can be used to provide crucial information about victims' remains and aid forensic investigations.
Cherene de Bruyn is a Postgraduate Researcher at Liverpool John Moores University, within the Forensic Research Institute (FORRI) where she is investigating clandestine grave detection through parallel approaches using forensic ecology and remote sensing.
