Hi everyone! Welcome to Suncoast Forensics! 👋

I rarely ever show my face on here (it’s just not my personality!), but I realized that many of you have followed Suncoast Forensics for quite a while and may not know much about the person behind the page. So, I thought it was finally time to introduce myself!

I’m Dr. Meredith Tise, a forensic anthropologist and the owner of Suncoast Forensics.

I started Suncoast Forensics because I genuinely love what I do and especially love teaching it. What began as a way to provide forensic anthropology training has grown into something much bigger than I ever expected, allowing me to work with and teach law enforcement, crime scene investigators, death investigators, and other professionals across the country (and internationally!).

When I’m not teaching or working cases, I spend time with my family, including two crazy boys, and I’m usually much happier behind the camera than in front of it.

Swipe through to learn a little more about me, my background, and the person behind Suncoast Forensics.

And if you’ve taken one of our classes, attended a webinar, worked with me on a case, or simply followed along here, thank you. I’m incredibly grateful for the support you’ve given Suncoast Forensics and for the opportunity to keep doing work that I truly enjoy. 💙

What happens when fire destroys the scene but not the evidence?

Recovering human remains from burned structures and wildfire scenes requires specialized knowledge. Heat, structural collapse, and suppression efforts can dramatically alter the scene, making proper search and recovery techniques critical to preserving evidence and answering investigative questions.
