    REWIND | Taskforce Argos

    Taskforce Argos was built to catch the worst of the worst - to infiltrate and stop child exploitation material networks.  Its former head, Jon Rouse spent years in the operation, and became entrenched in the world of saving children from abuse and sexual exploitation. Now, he's got some distance from the front-line, but, questions still linger. How does it all affect him? And what is he doing now after leaving the force?  Unpack the incredible career, and the merciless work that Jon Rouse and the team at Taskforce Argos undertook, with host Brent Sanders. From analysing the most disturbing of images, to infiltrating online networks and executing raids. As many heard in the award winning podcast series The Children in the Pictures, Jon's work took him across borders, and down dark roads. Hear him explain the work and the toll it takes on this episodes of Crime Insiders: Detectives.  This episode contains references to child sexual abuse and child exploitation material - please listen with care.  If anyone you know has been affected by this material or you've been affected yourself, please reference the following resources:  https://www.afp.gov.au/what-we-do/operational-support/australian-centre-counter-child-exploitation See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    FORENSICS | Clues only a death investigator sees

    When a human body is discovered in the United States, there is a person who takes on the role of eyes and ears of the dead: the death investigator. There is a whole chain of officials from the police, to forensic pathologists, to families and loved ones that depend on these specialists to unlock stories the dead can no longer tell. No one knows this role like Joseph Scott Morgan.  In this episode, host Kathryn Fox and Joseph peel back the layers of this hidden world: the science, the secrets, and the sacrifices of those who witness the grim reality of death day in and day out.

    When an off-duty officer made a disturbing discovery off a country road in Sheffield, detectives were immediately notified.

    FORENSICS | A Meatball Murder Plot?

    Does your family have a favourite recipe, a meal that feels like home? For Mario, that was his wife’s famous spaghetti and meatballs.

In this episode, meet John Franceschini, a forensic chemist with over 30 years of experience in private labs. Outside the reach of police or government, he uncovers the truth about what's really on our plates, and in our drugs.  Join host Kathryn Fox and dive into not one, but two cases of alleged food poisoning, the elusive dangers of synthetic drugs, and why independent forensic labs may be the last line of defense in the search for truth.

    REWIND | The DVD Murder

    The murder of Inge Lotz is one of the most controversial homicide investigations in South Africa's history. A lone fingerprint police claim to have lifted from a DVD case led to the acquittal of the alleged murderer, and resulted in accusations of fabricated evidence. Dr Scott Chadwick is a fingermark detection expert. His research focuses on optimising existing fingermark detection techniques and developing new reagents for revealing fingermarks on the most challenging of surfaces.   In this episode, join host Kathryn Fox, and hear about the science behind the acquittal of Inge Lotz's accused killer, and the importance of transparent and accurate crime scene investigation. Crime Insiders executive producer Dan Mullins presents a look back at one of our earlier episodes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
