Very interesting responses ... Also, was our sweet labsquint one of the questioners? If so then you go girl. Way to put Mr Hanson on the defensive about his science.
I could have picked out your questions even if they had not been signed. We who are gullible when it comes to foaming bones thank you for trying to keep up the scientific standard!
I figured that for those that knew me, the science bashing question was a dead giveway!
So what do you start with? Gave me something to think about. Instinct says body, but then case makes sense too... hm.
I too will admit to mixing it up, but I can at least give concrete examples:
Acid Test -- case first based on my own HIV knowledge. Burial in Green Ridge Forest -- body discovery based on forensic journal articles about buried remains, GPS locators and cadaver dogs. Human Puzzle in a Packing Crate -- state of skeleton; this arose from discussions with FM about some of the very dangerous equipment she had at her workplace and that lead me to 'would anything crush a body?' The answer was yes... Firestorm -- Gib offered her professional expertise as a 20 year firefighting veteran and that steered the body condition. Atonement -- method of torture came first and that lead directly to cause of death. Latent Images -- historical background setting came first. That led to the mass grave and then the case was built around that.
So as you can see, we mix it up, but at least I can tell you HOW we mix it up!
