    The document discusses a visit to the Dayton, Ohio crime lab. It describes how crime labs assist law enforcement agencies beyond what is shown on popular crime TV shows. The Miami Valley Regional Crime Lab serves 70 agencies and helped investigate a controversial local case from 1969 involving the death of Sarah Widmer, whose husband Ryan found her dead in a bathtub. Some questioned Ryan's involvement, but the judge did not allow the lab to test Sarah for a rare genetic disorder that could have caused her death, leaving doubts about Ryan's guilt or innocence.

    Walk the City: Dayton Crime Lab
    When thinking of a crime lab, the first thing that probably comes to
    mind are reruns of Law and Order, NCIS, and CSI. You may imagine
    Detectives Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler going door-to-door, serving search
    warrants, dodging bullets, and ultimately, catching the perpetrator. While
    Benson and Stabler surely get the most screen time, if we look at their jobs
    from a real life perspective, we would see they are not the only ones pouring
    sweat, blood, and tears into their work.
    Beyond the foot work of detectives and other forms of law
    enforcement, you may find yourself in a forensic laboratory, much like our
    very own here in Dayton, Ohio. On many popular crime series, scanning
    finger prints and removing bullet fragments are common forms practiced to
    determine the cause of death or the identity of a wanted person. In fact, our
    forensic lab assists 70 agencies in this field; a number that has grown since
    the lab opened in 1969. A famous, and controversial, Montgomery County
    case that is easily recalled is the Sarah Widmer case, better known as the
    Mystery in the Master Bedroom (titled by NBC dateline). Sarahs husband,
    Ryan Widmer, found her face down in a tub of water. After authorities and
    emergency services arrived, some suspicion arose about her cause of death.
    Although Ryan Widmer was ultimately found guilty for his wifes murder,
    those who followed the case felt a lack of evidence was provided by the
    forensic lab to find Widmer guilty. Many were outraged when the judge
    presiding over the hearing denied the forensic laboratory permission to test
    Sarah Widmers body for a rare genetic disorder that may have caused her
    death.
    If the Miami Valley Regional Crime Lab had been granted permission to
    test Sarah for this rare genetic disorder, would they have found what Ryan

    was looking for? Would it have been another dead end? While this is not the
    only well-known case our forensic lab has assisted in, one can only imagine
    the turmoil felt by Ryan and Sarahs loved ones when a lack of evidence
    could not disprove Ryans involvement with his wifes death. With a lack of
    evidence, only speculation can prove Ryan guilty or innocent as this case
    flows through ones mind.
