FBI headquarters in DC, 1981 or ‘82
This is something I’ve always wondered about. In 8th grade, ‘81 or ‘82, my class took a field trip to DC. One of our activities was a tour of the FBI headquarters. One of the things we got to see was a lab worker, in all white protective gear, in a white room, over a white table, carefully scraping off a dirty VW car mat. I was fascinated. I decided then and there that’s what I wanted to do - forensics, although I didn’t know the name for it at the time.
(Spoiler alert - when I looked at colleges later on, I saw how much chemistry was involved, and I knew sadly it was not to be).
Knowing what I know now, could this have been Ted Bundy’s VW? I’ve tried to look into a timeline, but I’m still not sure. Would this have been too early or late?
