Alina Burroughs' Complete Timeline: Age, Historic Cases, and Crime Scene Confidential
By Chloe Bennett
On June 12, 2016, a gunman killed 49 people and injured 53 others inside Pulse, an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Orlando. Burroughs had already transitioned to FARO Technologies, working as a specialist in terrestrial 3D laser mapping.
Federal and regional authorities required millimeter-accurate digital preservation of the venue's interior before biological and structural cleanup could begin. Burroughs returned to her home turf to support law enforcement with laser scanners. Her team captured billions of data points, producing a virtual reconstruction of bullet trajectories, structural walls, and victim locations.
The experience solidified her focus on modern technology over traditional measuring tapes. In her professional speaking appearances, she frequently emphasizes that rapid digital capture preserves crime scenes in their rawest state, preventing loss of evidence caused by environmental degradation or human oversight.
