Yvonne “Missy” Woods worked for the Colorado Bureau of Investigation for 29 years.
DENVER — A forensic scientist who worked on the Colorado Bureau of Investigation‘s DNA testing is under investigation for anomalies in her work, CBI said on Monday.
The anomalies in Yvonne “Missy” Woods’ work were found as part of an internal process in which a sampling of cases were reviewed. Woods, who no longer works for CBI, was a 29-year veteran of CBI’s Forensic Services, according to a news release.
CBI said it is notifying public safety agencies as it reviews which cases are potentially impacted. CBI said it is also reviewing Woods’ work and the testing procedures and processes of the Forensic Services.
“These are extremely serious allegations, and I want to assure the public and our public safety partners that the CBI is committed to conducting a complete review of this matter to ensure the integrity of this critical function remains intact.” said Stan Hilkey, executive director of the Department of Public Safety, in the release.
CBI said it is conducting an internal affairs investigation in conjunction with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and is working to find an outside state investigative agency to conduct a criminal investigation.
