Glen R. Groben, MD Forensic Pathologist Endorses Dotti For Coroner

“I am the first full-time Board Certified Forensic Pathologist hired in the State of Idaho and have been with the Ada County Coroner’s Office for almost 20 years. I have worked with Coroner Owens for almost ten of those years, and I can honestly say there is no other person in the state as qualified as Dotti Owens to be our Coroner. Coroner Owens has over ten years experience as an actual death investigator and now near four years of experience as Ada County Coroner. Dotti has put together an experienced staff of investigators and knows she has the support and trust of her Forensic Pathologists.

The Ada County Coroner’s Office continues to grow under the leadership of Coroner Owens and is now one of the only Coroner’s Offices with National Association of Medical Examiners accreditation. That is huge in the world of forensics and would not have happened without her leadership. Coroner Dotti Owens has been in the forefront of education on the opioid crisis and continues her work on suicide prevention. With Coroner Owens direction, the Ada County Coroner’s office is the most highly effective and efficient office that I have been privileged to be part of. “
