Lisa: A Song of Seeds and Blood (Forensics!)
I had a chance to sit down with Lisa, a woman I knew when we were littles in Citrus Heights, California, where it was freakin' HOT! (I just returned from there; I'm still hot.) She's a forensic toxicologist.
Lisa became inspired by forensics shows on TV to pursue the field. You're gonna learn about fruit DNA and some "information" about horses I will let you discover.
She references this movie on Netflix, How to Fix a Drug Scandal. (In the episode, we refer to it as How to Solve a Drug Problem. Oops).
If you want to read about the guy who robbed me working at Blockbuster Video in 1995, I couldn't find the link to The Sacramento Bee, but his name was Michael Lee Monfort. He served some of his time at Folsom Prison, where I would eventually work for a bit. He died awhile ago but had he still been at Folsom Prison when I was hired, he would have been transferred.
The Golden State Killer was caught in 2018 using DNA technology thanks to genealogy websites. (I didn't think to ask Lisa to elaborate because I already knew what she was talking about!)
