What really happens when forensic science meets real-world investigation? The Evidence Trail takes you behind the scenes of forensic investigations and the evidence that can help solve them.
With over 15 years of experience as a Crime Scene Investigator, host Chris Gee has walked under the police tape and read the stories left behind. Now, as a Forensic Fire Scientist, he's following the evidence into a new world — where every scene has a story to tell.
But he's not always alone. Investigators, scientists, forensic specialists and CSIs join Chris to explore the science, techniques and real-world investigations behind the evidence.
So slip under the police tape, follow the trail of evidence, and see the world through the eyes of a forensic investigator.
Because somewhere in the ashes… the truth is still burning.
