Spreading the word -- Epilogue : summing up -- Bibliography -- Acknowledgments -- Index."Using actual cases on which he has consulted, Goff shows show knowledge of insects and their habits allows forensic entomologists to furnish investigators with crucial evidence about crimes. Even when a body has been reduced to a skeleton, insect evidence can often provide the only available estimate of the postmortem interval, or time elapsed since death as well as clues to whether the body has been moved from the original crime scene and whether drugs have contributed to the death."--Jacket.

Forensic entomology : the utility of arthropods in legal investigations / by Byrd, Jason H.(CARDINAL)316402; Castner, James L.(CARDINAL)313189;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Insects and other arthropods found at a death scene can provide corroborating evidence regarding both the time and place of death, as well as possible antemortem and postmortem treatment of the victim. Nevertheless, most forensic investigators are not specially trained in entomology and, until now, no entomology reference has fully explored these subjects. Forensic Entomology: The Utility of Arthropods in Legal Investigations fills this void, providing valuable information and instruction to all forensic investigators, regardless of prior training, on what to search for - and how to handle items found - when recovering entomological evidence at a crime scene.--COVER.
