There’s more than one way to solve a crime Solving a crime on TV is often a three step process: 1.- Find DNA at the crime scene, 2.- Match with suspect's DNA, 3.- Break for commercial. In real life, however, DNA only figures in the investigation of a small percentage of crimes, and is a relatively recent innovation. Over the years, therefore, real life detectives have used a lot of non DNA methods, some of them as unlikely as they are ingenious. Join Master Detective author John Reisinger for a fast moving and informative PowerPoint presentation on crime solving methods from Victorian times right up to the present day. Hear how London City Police used post mortem photography to track Jack the Ripper, how a New Jersey detective used a bottle of river water to trap a killer, how a California chemistry professor solved the last great western train robbery with a microscope and an old pair of dirty overalls, and how a murderer was trapped by a coffee stain. Mystery readers and authors will find that real life detectives often have a few tricks up their sleeves just like their fictional counterparts. TROY HILLS ROOM TBA Bruce Makous, Austen S.
