Forensic Evidence of Gunshot Residue and Guest for Internet Investigations
Host Dean Beers will have an extended discussion with Karen during Conversations with Karen on the questions and answers to GSR testing and how it applies, as evidence, to equivocal death investigations.

But first, Dean will update listeners with recent legislative news from the National Council of Investigation & Security Services, including the very active State Legislative Advocacy Hub and important legislation at the state level.

Finally, Dean welcomes his guest, Brian Ingram, to talk about forensic internet investigations and profiles. This is not your conversation about using Google!
