The Search for Truth

Forensics, Law Enforcement

Locating clandestine burials of human remains has long challenged law-enforcement
officials investigating criminal activity. Forensic specialists and law enforcement agencies
have noted that multidisciplinary search efforts are becoming more of a necessity in
searching for buried remains.

The successful application of noninvasive geophysical methods in the search for clandestine
graves has proved to be a valuable tool for forensic investigators. In forensic situations,
geophysical methods are commonly employed to search for clandestine graves and other
physical evidence such as weapons. At the same time, geophysical methods are also
invaluable search tools that can be utilized to clear a suspected location so investigations
can be directed elsewhere. New England Geophysical is available to and works
closely with Law Enforcement.
