Forensic Scientist

LIsa Black

Cape Coral, FL

Female, 49

I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.

What do you think about that show on the weather channel when weather helped solve crimes?

I have not seen it.

Do people when you give them your email when they are asking homework or school work questions ever really email you?

Asked by Conner over 5 years ago

Sometimes. Perhaps 10% of the time.

Woah! Maxwell finally got arrested! What should be done? Did she do it? How should they protect her in prison from escape, suicide, being killed, or whatever else could be tried to get rid of her because she wants to talk? Who else do you think is involved

Asked by Clearance about 5 years ago

I have no idea.

Last question. I'm sorry, these were for my class.
If you were just choosing a career field, would you still choose to be a forensic scientist? Why or why not?

Asked by Jessie over 3 years ago

Yes, absolutely. I can’t think of anything I’d enjoy as much.

Why do people ask you such non sense questions. If you look much of many of these questions the writing styles are the same I am getting the feeling someone or some people are messing around with the site and messing with the forms.

Asked by Jessica almost 5 years ago

I agree.

If a dad commits suicide while his son is in the passenger seat, is the manner of death for the son considered as homicide? or accident?

Asked by Ritchelle almost 5 years ago

If the father caused the death of the son, then it's homicide. If he didn't know the son was there, it's accident (or maybe manslaughter, I don't know the precise legalities).
