Show Notes

When two men are found dead off a main road in Honolulu, Hawaii, forensics is called to the scene. The state of the bodies is suspicious by nature, but there's something about one of the decedents that makes them almost impossible to identify. 

That's when Dr David Carter is called. David is the Director of Forensic Sciences at the Chaminade University in Hawaii. He's experienced, highly skilled and sought after by police for investigative consulting.

His knowledge is broad, and with host Kathryn Fox, we dig into the world of forensics in the Hawaiian environment, and go granular with understanding how humidity, rain and unique wildlife can affect forensic investigations.
