    Did a Copier’s Fingerprint End the Winnie-the-Pooh Lawsuit?

    Forensic document examiner Eric Svakin joins Will to unpack the wild Disney vs. Slesinger battle over Winnie the Pooh royalties. From alleged dumpster-dived documents to coffee-stain “fracture matches,” copier defect fingerprints, and toner chemistry, Eric shows how tiny physical clues revealed that “confidential” labels were removed—and why a judge ultimately tossed the longest-running civil case in California at the time.

    Did a High Priest Fake His 1963 Diary Alibi?

    Forensics expert Eric Spokini walks through a wild decades-old case: a 1963 Seattle incident involving a visiting Buddhist priest, a later rise to high priest, and a diary used as an alibi—until document science, infrared ink tests, and even a Harvard statistician dismantled it in court. We unpack fountain-pen mechanics, how front/back page intersections reveal timing, and why the judges concluded the entry was added years later.

    How Does Indigo Dye Block Forensic DNA Tests?

    An 18-year cold case from Flint, Michigan gets revived when new DNA methods bypass indigo-dye interference on a suspect’s jean jacket. Forensic expert Eric Spekin walks through why a single, tiny blood spot testing positive for both victims is a massive red flag, how siloed lab workflows can mislead prosecutors, and the cross-examination strategy that helped a jury reach “not guilty.” If you’re into true crime, forensic science, or legal strategy, this episode breaks down the science—and the storytelling—behind cold case prosecutions.

    Diddy In Trouble… Is THIS The One He Didn’t Do?

    A forensic document examiner walks through a fresh Detroit case tied to new affidavits that allegedly claim prosecutors and police took bribes to frame Derek Smith—then shows why the paperwork itself doesn’t add up. You’ll learn how examiners spot red flags like mismatched fonts, cloned jurat blocks, and near-identical signatures that suggest tracing or digital copy-paste, plus what next steps (known-signature collection, fingerprinting) could definitively confirm or debunk the claims. The episode ends with a narrow conclusion about this case: the evidence here points to “Diddy didn’t do it,” while underscoring how neutral science protects both sides. Like what we do?

    Did a Fake Lab Notebook Spark a Silicon Valley Patent War?

    A Silicon Valley patent fight spirals from suspicious “stolen” lab notebooks into a masterclass in forensic document analysis—and a jailhouse murder-for-hire twist. We follow Amr Mosin’s 1988–89 notebooks, the selective car theft, and the day planner entries written with ink that didn’t even exist yet. You’ll see how experts used ink chemistry (date tags), drying tests, and VSC imaging to expose altered pages, plus the late reveal of original-notebook copies and the Aptex v. QuickTurn link.

    What Really Happened in the Killer Clown Case? A Forensic Deep Dive

    A clown at the door. Balloons on the floor. A cold case that hinges on fibers, fingerprints, and DNA that didn’t say what everyone thought it did. In this episode, Will sits down with forensic expert Erich Speckin to unpack the notorious “killer clown” case: child eyewitness limits, decades-old evidence, a suspicious “new” orange fiber, FTIR lab work, and a plea that replaced talk of the death penalty. We also touch on a recent docuseries that reopened national attention to the case. Watch to see how careful microscopy, chain-of-custody problems, and mixed DNA shifted the narrative—and the outcome.
