Heather Grant, a Lecturer in Forensic Science at the University of Lincoln and former forensic reporting scientist, will be examining the film's portrayal of crime scenes. In an episode of 'Crime Scenes of Tinseltown', Grant will discuss the forensic science used in one of cinema's most famous crime scenes, the 'Sloth Scene' from the 1995 film Se7en.
The discussion will highlight what the film accurately represents about forensic investigations and where it deviates significantly from reality. Grant will explain what real forensic scientists look for when attending a crime scene, covering evidence such as DNA, fingerprints, footprints, hairs, and other biological materials.
The episode aims to reveal that actual forensic science is considerably more complex, methodical, and time-consuming than often depicted in crime dramas.
