Join co-hosts and friends Colleen O'Brien and Erica White every other week as they recap an episode of the long-running true crime series Forensic Files. In each episode, they dissect the forensic techniques used to crack the case, discuss whether those techniques still hold up today, and find out if there have been any updates on the case since the episode aired.
13-year-old Dario Cicolecchia disappeared from a small Swiss village in 1993. His body was later found in a cornfield, with signs of sexual violence. There was no apparent evidence at the scene, but microscopic examination revealed diatoms - single-celled organisms that live in and around water. Could the tiny diatoms help investigators solve the case? Hosts: Colleen O’Brien, Erica White. Audio Supervisor: Tommy O’Brien. Theme Music: 'The Drama' by Rafael Krux (orchestralis.net).

18 - Mic Drop Jerry
A series of bombings rocked Salt Lake City in 1985. First, businessman Steve Christensen was killed by a bomb left outside of his office. Then Kathy Sheets was killed by a similar bomb at her home. At first, the motive appeared to be business - the second bomb was addressed to Kathy’s husband Gary Sheets, former business partner of Steve. When a third bomb went off, injuring documents dealer Mark Hofmann, the case became more complicated. Investigators would soon find themselves unraveling a web of forgeries and cover-ups, using forensic document examination to crack the case. Hosts: Colleen O’Brien, Erica White. Audio Supervisor: Tommy O’Brien. Theme Music: 'The Drama' by Rafael Krux (orchestralis.net).

17 - The Coffee Cup Incident
This is a wild one! Elementary school teacher Joanne Chambers began receiving bizarre, threatening letters in 1993. Joanne was an unlikely target for harassment, and police could only come up with one suspect: Paula Nawrocki - another teacher at the school. Despite having only circumstantial evidence, police and prosecution went forward with a case against Paula. When DNA evidence was found on some of the letters, everything would change...We’ll also give you a lesson in typewriter technology and the history of stamp pricing! Hosts: Colleen O’Brien, Erica White. Audio Supervisor: Tommy O’Brien. Theme Music: 'The Drama' by Rafael Krux (orchestralis.net).
