CrimeCon 2026

In this powerful, ground-breaking session, Joseph Scott Morgan - leading international forensic analyst, veteran death investigator and Jacksonville State University professor - breaks down the three critical levels of identifying the deceased: positive ID, unidentified remains, and speculative association. He takes a deep dive into what separates scientific certainty from educated guesswork - and what it truly takes to move a case from unknown to confirmed.

Then comes a revelation like no other: Working alongside David Mittelman, CEO of Othram - a cutting-edge forensic genetics lab at the forefront of modern cold case work - Morgan reveals how meticulous analysis and forensic genealogy of minute evidence is accomplishing the impossible: a positive ID in a never-before revealed case. It's a session you won't want to miss!
