Forensic pathology plays a crucial role in the podcast episodes, as it provides crucial insights and evidence in various criminal investigations.
For instance, in the episode 'My Friend, the Serial Killer | 3. Take Us To The Bodies', the medical examiner, Dr. Ronald Wright, performs autopsies on the victims' bodies and determines the causes of death. Similarly, in the episode 'Introducing Lost Hills: Dark Canyon', a forensic pathologist conducts an autopsy on Mitrice Richardson's remains, shedding light on the mysterious circumstances surrounding her death.
Forensic pathology is also central to the investigations in episodes such as 'Ep 10 of 14: The Worst Day', 'Natalee Holloway: New Clues in Paradise', 'Ep 3 of 14: The Damage', and 'Insulated Evidence', where the medical examiner's findings and analysis of physical evidence play a crucial role in the cases.
