I Guess I'm Interested in Forensics After All

Picture of the Day for 2/28/2015. Normally when I attend Sleuthfest I like to sit in on the sessions related to the craft of writing. This time I've gravitated toward the forensic classes taught by subject matter experts. Today's session on military autopsies featured Dr. Craig Mallak, former chief of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System. He told fascinating stories about his experiences. He was involved in the autopsies of the seven astronauts who perished in the break-up of the space shuttle Colombia which of course peaked my interest. I could have listened to him for hours.
