Medical examiners recovered a DNA profile underneath Karina's fingernails, her back, and her cell phone. But the DNA profile doesn't lead to an immediate arrest in the case. It took NYPD nearly 6 months, but they finally arrested a suspect in Karina's murder, 20-year-old Brooklyn resident Chanel Lewis. Did police and prosecutors have enough forensic evidence to put Lewis behind bars for Karina's murder?Support My WorkIf you love the show, the easiest way to show your support is by leaving us a positive rating with a review.

#134 - In July 1978, two middle-aged white men were gunned down in their Washington D.C neighborhood. A few weeks after their murders, two men were arrested in connection with the shootings, 17-year-old Santae Tribble and his friend, 20-year-old Cleveland Wright. Although both men denied involvement in the crimes, Washington D.C. police and prosecutors believed they had enough forensic evidence to secure convictions. Tribble and Wright were convicted in the shootings after hair analysis testimony argued that Tribble's hair was found at one of the crime scenes. But years into their prison sentences, questions began to arise about whether the right people for the murders were behind bars. If forensic science can convict someone, can the same evidence also be used to acquit someone?

The following day her lifeless body was discovered off a remote road. Initially, the Sacramento police received countless tips and leads about who might be Mary's killer.

#126 - In June 1989, 14-year-old high school student, Stephanie Isaacson, walked to El Dorado High School in Las Vegas, Nevada. On her way to school, she took a shortcut through a vacant lot so she wouldn't be late for her first class. After school let out, Stephanie's father became worried when his daughter didn't return home. He called the school and found out she never made it to class that morning. Later that night, her body was found at a sandlot just off the path she usually took to school. She had been sexually assaulted and strangled to death. The investigation to track down her killer spanned decades. It wasn't until three decades later that investigators finally got the break they needed.

Three days later, the police found her body in a ditch just a few miles away from her home. Although forensic science was still in t's infancy, the first responding investigators were careful to preserve as much of the crime scene surrounding Carla's body as possible.

#117 - In September 2014, two European backpackers, Hannah Witheridge and David Miller were found murdered on Sairee Beach on Thailand's island of Koh Tao. They had been brutally beaten to death just a few feet away from their hotel rooms. From the beginning, the Thai police had difficulty securing the crime scene. While collecting forensic evidence, tourists and locals were allowed to walk on the beach. A mistake that many forensic experts say jeopardized the entire investigation. Throughout the investigation and criminal trial, the Thai government and police were heavily criticized by human rights organizations, legal experts, and the media. Allegations about police brutality rocked the country's economy that almost solely relies on tourism.

#110- In January 2006, 24-year-old Jennifer Kesse disappeared from her condo in Orlando, Florida. Two days after she disappeared, her car was found abandoned in a nearby apartment complex. Security footage installed at the complex captured an individual seen driving and parking Jennifer's car on the day she went missing. Unfortunately, the camera didn't record a continuous video and only captured an image every three seconds. Every three seconds this individual was somehow able to obscure their face behind a face. The details surrounding Jennifer's disappearance remain a mystery and the person captured dumping her car remains unidentified. Can forensic science help the Kesse family get justice?
