Meet The Boss At The World's Only Wildlife Crime Lab In Ashland

U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Putting the pieces of a crime together can be quite literal.

Just about every criminal case involves physical evidence, and that physical evidence is often processed by a crime lab. 

There are more than 400 crime labs across the United States for researching crimes against people and property. 

And there is exactly ONE in the world for investigating crimes against wildlife. 

That is the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's Forensics Lab in Ashland. 

Poaching and endangered species kills are major components of the lab's work.  Director Ken Goddard joins us.
