Degree of decomposition
- reconnaissance - search design - search - recovery - documentation - analysis - expert witness testimony
- aid the forensic pathologist - identification
Analysis
Biological profile
- age - sex biogeographical affiliation - stature - trauma/pathological conditions
mini- minimum number of individuals
Chain of custody
Document any item removed from scene
Recovery and transportation
- method matches specimen - bones
Documentation
- occurs at each step - mapping
Search methods
- line searching - walking - hands and knees - uphill/downhill - equipment
Search design
- direct or remote - terrain - time of year - hazards - search purpose - budget - available personnel
Reconnaissance
- Do not enter the scene - aerial photograph - maps contemporary - perimeter photography, video, sketches ] - intangible evidence
- Re-evaluated throughout analysis - basis of full search - always significant until proven otherwise
