Why Forensic Scars?
Where forensic science meets the human stories behind crime.
Where forensic science meets the human stories behind crime.
Crime leaves more than evidence behind. It can leave trauma, unanswered questions and stories that are never fully heard.
Forensic Scars was created to explore the connection between forensic science, criminal investigation and the human impact of crime.
Through educational content, real stories and testimonies, podcasts featuring real cases, investigative case files and interactive case-based experiences created for analysis and critical thinking, we explore how evidence, people and unanswered questions come together in the aftermath of crime.
Our mission is to encourage curiosity, critical thinking and a deeper understanding of crime, while giving space to the people and stories behind every case.
Every case leaves evidence. Every case leaves scars.

¿Por qué cicatrices forenses?
Soy Maria da Conceição, estudiante de Ciencias Forenses y Criminales en el Instituto Europeo de Ciencias Forenses, dedicada a dar voz a las historias silenciadas por los crímenes y los abusos. Me apasiona la educación forense y el apoyo a las víctimas, por lo que creé el proyecto Cicatrices Forenses.
A través de este proyecto, presento al mundo la historia de Martinna Beckett, una joven que podría ser yo, que podría ser tú. A los 15 años, fue reclutada por un servicio secreto, sometida a un entrenamiento riguroso y a trabajos peligrosos, y ahora, a los 24, se ha convertido en víctima de la violencia de una figura con poder institucional. Hasta el día de hoy, Martinna continúa su lucha por la justicia. Sigo de cerca su caso, comparto su testimonio en los episodios del podcast y me comprometo a apoyarla hasta el final.
También quiero brindar apoyo a otras víctimas, por eso creé este espacio para profundizar la comprensión de las secuelas que un caso penal deja en las víctimas, los investigadores y la sociedad. Aquí combinamos educación, análisis de casos, podcasts y comunidad, ofreciendo un espacio seguro e informativo para todos.
