This course will cover how to approach a cold case investigation by explaining ideas for how to review and dissect investigative supplemental reports, which includes reviewing the crime scene from reports and photographs. Additionally, with today’s technological advancements in DNA and other forensic opportunities (such as genetic genealogy and the M-Vac System). We will also discuss things to look for that may result in positive outcomes from scientific examinations. The course will also cover working with prosecutors and medical examiners on how to discuss the investigation, and how to work together for a successful prosecution.

The fee for this course is $890
