At the scene of a murder, sometimes the victim provides the only clues to their killer. Forensic anthropologists use skeletal remains to decipher the clues written in the bones.

CI: Coroner Investigator will reveal the most in-depth look to date into the science of death.

At a crime scene, anything left behind or seemingly out of place is considered a clue. But a fire can extinguish everything in its path challenging forensic investigators at every turn and making each arson a trial by fire.

Poison is the subtlest form of death, and investigators must see through unusual circumstances to bring these murders to light.

The Great Outdoors may offer great clues to solving brutal murders. But it takes the keen eye of the forensic entomologist and botanist to decipher the clues nature provides.
