Criminalist

Linda C. Rourke is a board certified criminalist and a life-long science geek. She studied biochemistry in college but hadn’t found her career passion until she learned about forensic science.

Rourke also works as a consultant in forensic science casework and education. Her research has spanned several areas including gunshot residue analysis, whole genome amplification, DNA admixture analysis, and familial DNA analysis.
