    The "police" and "forensic experts" are not the same thing. The police help to maintin order, to protect, to serve, etc. Forensic experts work mainly in the laboratory and in the crime scene. It was just a bit misleading reading that the police and scientists are going to work together.

    archaeologists have been used for the biggest serial murder case in Canadian history already. Over 70 women are believed to have been killed, probably by the man who's been charged with 15 of the deaths.
