We are excited to announce the addition of three new faculty members to our Program, Dr. James Pokines, Mr. Jon Bethard and SSA Gary Reinecke, retired FBI.
Dr. James Pokines is a Board Certified Forensic Anthropologist and joins us from the JPAC-CIL in Honolulu and Mr. Bethard is from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. They bring experience with human remains recovery, taphonomy, vertebrate osteology, zooarchaeology, taphonomy, and paleoecology to the program. They will be teaching courses in the methods, techniques and procedures used by forensic anthropologists, establishing research studies and preparing grant submissions.
SSA Gary Reinecke retired from the FBI in December after 24 years of service and joined our faculty in January 2011. He joined the FBI in 1986 and in 1998 was promoted and transferred to the FBI Laboratory where he was assigned to the Evidence Response Team (ERT) program. SSA Reinecke managed operational matters for the ERT program and developed several training courses for ERT agents including the Human Remains Recovery School at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
