The Deadly Affair. How the Most Brutal and Complex Crimes Are Solved When There Are No Clues or Witnesses
- high-profile unsolved cases that became the basis for movie plots.
- serial killers.
- sexual maniacs.
- victims of sick love.
- seducers and fraudsters.
How many more crimes would have been... solved if DNA research, fingerprinting, and entomology had been developed in past centuries? The infamous Jack the Ripper, never found by Scotland Yard agents, would surely have been caught by now.
Thanks to technological advancements, it is now possible to track the movements of any person. Every phone call made can be checked. Every trip. And every purchase. But this mountain of personal data means nothing if there are no experts who can analyze it, filter out the important bits, and piece everything together to find what is needed.
To understand how forensic science has developed, it is necessary to look at the past, present, and future of this most imprecise of all sciences and get to know the people who have had a significant influence on the world of forensic expertise.
- Where and how were the first autopsies conducted?
- When was the very first forensic laboratory opened?
- Where did the earliest version of the lie detector appear?
- What revolution did DNA analysis bring to crime solving?
- Why is a body farm needed?
