Do you have what it takes to crack the case? Inspired by the hit CBS television series, CSI: The Experience is a new traveling exhibit that lets you analyze forensic evidence and test your investigative skills. The groundbreaking forensic science exhibit highlights the process of scientific inquiry and real investigation techniques used to solve crimes. From DNA and firearms analysis to forensic anthropology and toxicology -- sciences vital to unraveling the mysteries of crime scene investigation -- you're immersed in hands-on science in an exciting multi-media environment with dazzling special effects. Cast members from the series, along with their real-life counterparts, lead you throughout the experience. In "Who Got Served," one of three crime scenes in the exhibit, a young woman has been found dead in an alley behind an old Las Vegas motel. She is sprawled beneath a dumpster overflowing with trash and is wearing a waitress outfit with a nametag that reads "Penny." There is a tire tread across her abdomen, and tossed nearby is a photo of her, which has been ripped in half. No other injuries are visible. Amongst the trash are a handbag and a cell phone. Which clues will help you unravel the mystery of Penny's death? Remember what your supervisor, Gil Grissom, said: Keep an open mind and follow the evidence. CSI: The Experience is currently traveling to science museums across the country. It was developed by the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History with support from CBS Consumer Products, the cast and crew of the television show, the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, and the National Science Foundation. Its current location and more information, including an interactive Web activity, can be found at www.CSITheExperience.org
