KDIAI at IAI national conference!
 Wade Cherms, Cody Goforth, Cassie Schultheis, Jackie Hayworth, Bri Wagner, Ashley Fox Several KDIAI members had the opportunity to attend the 108th national IAI Conference in Reno, Nevada in August 2024. They attended lectures and workshops throughout the week pertaining to forensic science. They also had the opportunity to network with others, speak with vendors and see some of the latest and greatest offerings by the vendors. If you have never attended the national conference, and you have the opportunity to do so, seriously consider going! It is a wonderful experience!

Cassie Schultheis, Forensic Scientist with the Johnson County Crime Lab, had the wonderful opportunity to present at the IAI Conference! She presented "Attempted Homicide with a Trash Bag", a case study and the research related to the case. The case involved a plastic trash bag with latent prints that appeared to be reversed. Through research Cassie discovered that some trash bags can have latent print residue bleed through the plastic and end up on the other side of the bag, resulting in a reversed impression.
