CSI SLC
The Tribune's Sheena McFarland offers a look at the man who brought crime science to bear on the some of the highest profile criminal cases in Utah.David Wakefield, a state crime-lab firearm and toolmarks examiner, has worked on nearly every murder case in the state over the last decade, including the 2007 Trolley Square shootings and 2004 Lori Hacking murder. He also will be a crucial player in the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping case — if it ever goes to trial.
Wakefield, who dreams about the puzzles his job brings, admits not everyone finds the work as satisfying:
We've had people who have left the lab because it's too hard to deal with the death, grief and blood of it.
