Mid-Pacific Institute students conduct campus CSI

Alison Ashford remembers her youth in Oxford, England, and how she used to prepare  a thermos of tea for her father, a British policeman-turned-private eye, when he went out on a stakeout. (soundbites 2262, 2263)
"It's in the blood, I guess," said Ashford who created Mid-Pacific Institute's first elective forensic science course.
Using their iPads (every Mid-Pac student has one), Ashford's high school students sleuthed  through the stately old Chang House at the top of the campus  this morning.
Murder, suicide, burglary were all on the menu for crime-solving. 
Groups of students probed crime scenes, dusting for prints,  swabbing blood spatters, bagging and tagging all weapons and trace evidence. Photographers and sketch artists documented the process.
Ashford said she wanted to start the course "because of my own passion for the marriage of mystery and science."
