Editing Forensic palynology (section)

=== Argentina, 2023 ===
A man was reported missing to the local police in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The family reported a possible suspect due to the fact the missing person and the suspect had intense arguments not long before his disappearance. The police searched the suspects house and found bloodstains on clothing items under the bed. They then took clothing items of the suspect for evidence analysis and soil samples from the garden of the suspects house. 25 days later, the police found the missing persons body was found 1000 meters off a coastline. Forensic mycology and palynology was then applied to analyse the palynomorphs and fungal species, as soil samples from the location of the corpse were analyzed. Samples were first acquired by scarping the surface area and then filtration and acetolysis was conducted to isolate the pollen samples. The analysis of the suspects clothing was then compared to the analysis of the corpse and the surrounding area. Results indicated that the corpse had a palynomorph composition of marine species, the quantity and exact species were all documented. The soil from the suspects house had a continental palynomorph composition that was also fully documented and recorded. The suspects bloodstained clothing had the same marine palynomorph composition as the body and the surrounding area. Soil samples in the suspects car and under the soles of the suspects shoes also contained the same palynomorph composition as the coastline area where the body was found. Along with other forensic evidence, the suspect was found guilty and the use of forensic palynology was used to help close this case.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Povilauskas |first1=Leticia Karina |last2=Tranchida |first2=María Cecilia |date=May 2023 |title=Palynology and mycology as biological evidence in a homicide case |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1556-4029.15249 |journal=Journal of Forensic Sciences |language=en |volume=68 |issue=3 |pages=1064–1072 |doi=10.1111/1556-4029.15249 |pmid=37031349 |issn=0022-1198}}</ref>
