    yes, that is a start but someone's wonderful mind, put all those high tech tools in motion. We all can't be Sherlock Holmes and solve cases without them.

    Yes, of course. The University of Toronto has a forensic course and a teaching facility at an undisclosed site where pig body parts are buried and studied during different seasons to explain how insects can determine time of death, and play a very important part in forensic science.

    I was a hospital aide for two years and a mom since I was 25. I can deal with smells.
