  The allure of the unknown, coupled with the macabre of unsolved mysteries and true crime has often been sensationalized by the media. Fear and thrilling whodunnit plot twists providing immediate conduits for catharsis and escapism leaving audiences wanting more. This insatiable thirst for crime and its actors has spurred on a culture intrigued by morbid curiosity producing crime documentaries, podcasts, and television dramas. Though intrigue and diverse mediums satiate fans of true crime by providing socially-acceptable exposure to the gruesome happenings of a case reproduction, the science behind solving cases brings the imitations to life.

  New discoveries in chemistry and other sciences have made the onset and evolution of forensic science inevitable and imperative to the criminal justice system, giving factual and hard evidence based on these new modern forensic techniques to solve crimes and convict perpetrators. It includes many advances in different subject areas revolving around science-based methodologies and findings. Many emerging areas of expertise around digital, engineering, geology and nursing forensics alongside more traditional and well-known sciences like biology, anthropology, odontology, and especially chemistry are the basis for how forensic science is utilized within the criminal justice system (Howe, 2022). Chemistry provides the backbone and evidence to help illuminate hidden clues and unravel mysteries.
