Do applied criminologists have the tools to timely investigate the cause of death?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Are death investigations complex? Should every case be treated as a homicide until proven otherwise?

As of this recording, are all the facts surrounding the deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife known?

When does a case become “cold”? Do investigators often have several cases at one time? Dr. Myers has some great insight into this and how cases are handled.

TV dramas such as NCIS paint a pretty picture about extremely fast forensic lab and autopsy results, but this does not reflect reality. Is there a nationwide movement to modernize forensic labs to fast-track cases?
