FBI, MI
Paul Micah Johnson is an FBI Special Agent with over 20 years of investigative experience. He currently serves as Evidence Response Team (ERT) Leader and Bureau Pilot in the Detroit Field Office. In 2011, while assigned to the organized crime squad of the Detroit field office, SA Johnson opened DEATH HARVESTER, the first criminal enterprise investigation into the illegal sale of human body parts in FBI history. For the next 10 years the case took him around the country investigating the whole-body-to-science donation industry. DEATH HARVESTER ultimately resulted in criminal convictions in three states, new state legislation, and thousands of human body parts sorted, cremated, and returned to victim next-of-kin. Through this work SA Johnson has also been qualified as an expert witness in body donation. He holds a PhD in Biology from the University of Washington, an MS in Forensic Science from the University of Florida, and a BS in Marine Biology from the University of Miami. He also serves as Adjunct Faculty for the FBI Laboratory and Critical Incident Response Group, teaching crime scene investigation and management, crime scene photography, and surveillance photography to law enforcement partners in the U.S. and internationally.
