  • Forensic Botany - The Case of Mark Bogan
    Dec 22 2025

    When a young woman’s body was found in the Arizona desert in 1992, the trail seemed cold, until investigators noticed something an ordinary suspect couldn’t deny: plants. In a case that would rewrite forensic history, tiny seeds found in a pickup truck told a story no witness could. This is the chilling true account of how Mark Bogan became the first person convicted using plant DNA, where a crime scene’s greenery spoke louder than any alibi.
