Professor Patricia Wiltshire (born 1942, in Monmouthshire)[1] is a forensic ecologist, botanist and palynologist.[2] She has consulted police forces in approaching 300 investigations spread throughout England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and abroad.[3] She has been instrumental in helping solve a number of high-profile crimes. These include the murders of Sarah Payne, Millie Dowler, and Christopher Laverack (a case that was unsolved for three decades). She was also able to help prove the guilt of Ian Huntley for the Soham murders and give valuable intelligence in the Ipswich serial murders.[4] Early lifeProfessor Wiltshire had an unconventional childhood education: encyclopaedias formed her major source of learning from age seven, on account of an injury which was followed by repeated chest infections which damaged her lungs. This broad approach to knowledge provided a strong foundation for her future career. Starting as a medical laboratory technician, she moved on to study botany at King's College London. She lectured there for several years in microbial and general ecology before taking up a post at the Institute of Archaeology at University College London.[5][6] She was later responsible for setting up a masters' course in Forensic Archaeological Science which ran successfully and continued after she left UCL. High-profile cases
Patricia Wiltshire has provided valuable intelligence to police forces involving timing of events, and location of places (including clandestine burials). The analysis of fungal growth on bodies, and materials associated with victims, has also enabled her to provide accurate estimates of post mortem interval in murder cases. The analysis of pollen, plant spores, and fungal spores has enabled her to contribute many kinds of temporal and spatial evidence in police enquiries. However, Patricia Wiltshire also works on defence cases wherever necessary. Sobriquets
