Forensic Science Crimes

This book will cover DNA links to convictions and acquittals. The long link of DNA evidence is vast. That many convictions were overturned because of DNA evidence or that many years after convictions individuals were set free. Privacy issues are also in question. Many countries have different regulations due to new laws surrounding the length of time that DNA is stored. The varying strands of this innovative forensic evidence collection is also in jeopardy.

Viele Kinder lasen Enid Blyton oder Beatrix Potter - Carla Valentine war von klein auf verrückt nach Agatha Christie und rätselte mit, wer wohl der Mörder war. Diese frühe Faszination ließ Carla Valentine Forensik studieren, in Leichenhallen und in pathologischen Instituten arbeiten, doch von Agatha Christie ließ sie nie ab. Agatha Christie benutzte den Begriff "Forensik" noch nicht wie wir, doch auch sie beschreibt in ihren Krimis mit ihrer fachkundigen Beobachtung und viel Einfallsreichtum die Wendungen und Verwicklungen der einzelnen Fälle und überführt geschickt jeden einzelnen Mörder.

On November 24, 1971, an unidentified man hijacked an airplane that was flying from Portland, Oregon, to Seattle, Washington. He demanded $200,000 and told a flight attendant that he had weapons. After stopping in Seattle, the hijacker was given the money and he released the attendants. But he demanded that the pilots stay on-board, refuel, and fly him to Mexico City. Just thirty minutes after the plane took off, the man jumped out of the aircraft and parachuted away...never to be seen or heard from again. Did he escape with the money? Did he even survive the jump?

Some true crimes reveal themselves in bits and pieces over time. One such case is the Florida School for Boys, a.k.a. the Dozier School, a place where - rather than reforming the children in their care - school officials tortured, raped, and killed them. Opened in 1900, the school closed in 2011 after a Department of Justice investigation substantiated allegations of routine beatings and killings made by about 100 survivors. Thus far, forensic anthropologist Dr. Erin Kimmerle and her team from the University of South Florida have uncovered 55 sets of human remains.

In 1978, 56-year-old Leoma Patterson left a bar in Clinton, Tennessee, and was never seen again. Six months later, a female skeleton was found on a wooded lakeshore in a neighboring county. The bones were consistent with those of the missing woman, and one of Patterson's daughters recognized a ring found at the death scene as her mother's. The bones were buried, and six years later, a relative of Patterson's - one of the men she was last seen alive with - confessed to killing her. Case closed.
