Crime scene insects
Insects found on or near a corpse can reveal not just the time of death, but also whether or not a body has been moved, what drugs the victim might have taken, and other details. This program looks at the role of insects in solving two murder cases, one from 1935 and another from 1997. The first involves a pair of bodies discovered at the bottom of a Scottish ravine. Maggots found on the remains helped pinpoint when the deceased were dumped there - the first time insects were used in a major British murder trial. In the second case, a German clergyman came under suspicion for murdering his wife. Lacking DNA evidence, police resorted to insect analysis - with maggots on the corpse demolishing the suspects alibi and crushed ants on the soles of his boots putting him firmly at the crime scene.

- ""Some of the best friends of police are maggots! This excellent program charts recent advances in forensic entomology and reveals how insects found on or near a corpse can reveal not just the time of death, but whether a body has been moved, and even how the victim has died. The program looks at the role of insects in solving two famous cases where the murderers almost eluded justice. This is an engaging, real-life examination of modern forensics and the way science is transforming police work"--Container."
