Book description
Detailed accounts of over 30 contemporary cases, or older cases
reopened as a result of advances in forensic science.
Crime scene investigations draw on a wide range of cutting-edge
technology including genetic fingerprinting, blood splatter analysis,
laser ablation, toxicology and ballistics analysis.
Cases covered here include: the abduction of Madeleine McCann; the
vindication of Colin Stagg, convicted of having murdered Rachel
Nickell; Hadden Clark who killed and ate a six-year-old child in
Maryland; Robert Pickton, the Vancouver farmer who fed his female
victims to his pigs; the murder of Meredith Kercher in Perugia (was
Amanda Knox guilty?); Lindsay Hawker's gruesome death in Japan; Josef
Fritzl and the cellar in which he imprisoned and raped his daughter.
