Ep 34. Writing on the Wall

In season 13 episode 34 of Forensic Files titled "Writing on the Wall," viewers are introduced to the perplexing case of a young woman named Jennifer Corbin. Jennifer was found dead in her home on December 4, 2004, with a gunshot wound to the head. Initially believed to be a suicide, the case takes a dramatic turn when it is discovered that Jennifer's husband, Dr. Bart Corbin, is having an affair with a co-worker.

The investigation reveals that Dr. Corbin had a motive for wanting his wife dead. Not only did he have a mistress, but he also stood to benefit financially from Jennifer's death. He had taken out a substantial insurance policy on her life just months before her murder.

As the investigation continues, detectives discover a piece of evidence that could incriminate Dr. Corbin: a handwritten note found in Jennifer's purse with an alarming message. The note is written in Jennifer's handwriting, but it is signed with someone else's name. Investigators are left wondering who wrote the note and why.

Forensic scientists are called in to analyze the writing on the note, comparing it to known samples of both Jennifer and Dr. Corbin's handwriting. Through careful analysis, they are able to determine that the note was indeed written by Jennifer, despite the fact that her husband had tried to make it look like someone else had written it.

But the discovery of the note is just the beginning. As the investigation continues, more and more evidence starts to pile up against Dr. Corbin. His mistress, Tracy, is eventually brought in for questioning and provides police with a crucial piece of evidence that links Dr. Corbin to Jennifer's murder.

Through the use of forensic analysis and police work, investigators are able to connect the dots and solve the case. In the end, Dr. Corbin is found guilty of Jennifer's murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The "Writing on the Wall" episode of Forensic Files is a compelling and thought-provoking look at the intricacies of forensic science and detective work. It highlights the many ways in which seemingly small pieces of evidence can add up to a larger, more complex picture, and shows how even the most carefully crafted lies can be uncovered through the use of forensic analysis.
