The Mammoth Book of New CSI: Forensic Science in Over Thirty Real-life Crime Scene Investigations
Author(s): Nigel Cawthorne
This book features 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; and, Josef Fritzl and the cellar in which he imprisoned and raped his daughter.
