Cases solved using forensics
About Forensic Factor
Forensics junkie? Fan of Forensic Files? You should check out Forensic Factor. It covers many of the same cases as Forensic Files, but has longer episodes (about 45 minutes). The show focuses on cases solved using a variety of forensic techniques, from DNA and fingerprints, to bite mark analysis and forensic botany, even ear print identification.
The first season concentrates on techniques like forensic profiling, weapons analysis, and analysis of audio and video footage, rather than cases. From there, seasons focus on one or more cases per episode. There’s also an update to the show with Forensic Factor: A New Era (rebooted in 2023), which incorporates digital forensics in solving many of the cases and adds police interviews to episodes.
