This may sound strange, but to Crime Scene Investigators, “There’s something peaceful...about working with the dead.” No matter how a victim’s life ended, they all have a story to tell…if somebody is willing to listen. For more than 30 years, Howard Ryan has been that guy. Most of that time, as a State Police Crime Scene Investigator.



Today, he is a Crime Scene Reconstruction Consultant, an Expert Witness, and he teaches state-of-the-art forensic techniques to law enforcement agencies worldwide.

This podcast series will clear the air on what really happens in the world of forensic investigations. It’s not like what you see on TV.



So, hold on tight as we take you on a “walk-through” of some gruesome crime scenes and controversial cases. Many of which are too brutal for most people to imagine. And sometimes, even for the experts. Join Howard Ryan, and his fellow crime scene experts from around the world for a first-hand, no nonsense, ring-side seat as they take you...

Under the Yellow Tape.

Truth-Seeker

Our daughter-in-law, Jennifer Benson, has worked with Howie for several years through the University of Tennessee Forensics Dept. We were always intrigued by her stories of their conversations; now we know why. Though we have not met Howie, you know him and respect him for his character. Critical thinking/reasoning, truth-seeking, and straight talk are three societal essentials that are under fierce attack and we applaud Howie for having the fortitude to practice them without apology, and emphatically imploring others to do the same. Keep fighting the good fight, Howie. You are an inspiration to think and live well.

Misleading Title

This is the case FOR Kyle Rittenhouse NOT the case AGAINST Kyle Rittenhouse. It’s blatantly biased towards the defense and justifying these murders despite the misleading title.
