Introduction
For more than two thousand years humankind has been attempting to solve crimes through the application of scientific knowledge. In Roman times, physicians routinely performed autopsies to find out why people had died, and this was extended to the criminal arena in 44 B.C. when the most famous Roman of all, Julius Caesar, was stabbed to death. On that occasion there was no great secret regarding whodunit, but the fact that an autopsy took place at all does highlight the way in which human curiosity was beginning to explore the broader aspects of crime investigation.
From this promising birth came only chaos. As barbarian hordes swarmed across Europe, sacking Rome and plunging the entire continent into the Dark Ages, all this early knowledge was trampled underfoot, with most of it lost forever. For the next millennium, science was a dim memory at best. The revival, when it came, occurred on the other side of the world. In 1248 a Chinese book, Hsi Duan Yu (The Washing Away of Wrongs), laid out a rudimentary description of how to distinguish the symptoms of drowning from those of strangulation, and also how to determine if a body was already dead before immersion in water. It wasn t much, but with its emphasis on careful study of the crime scene, this volume marked the first time that anyone had set down guidelines to what we would nowadays call forensic science.
Europe took centuries to catch up. Gradually, though, the notion that science, rather than plunging a suspect s hand into fire or a vat of boiling water, might be a more reliable means of determining guilt did take hold. This was a concept that really blossomed in the Victorian Age, particularly in France and Germany and later in Britain, and from there it spread across the Atlantic to America. Since that time a barrage of forensic advances-each building on the last-has moved crime solving into another dimension. From ballistics to toxicology to brain fingerprinting to anthropology to computer-enhanced digital imagery and all points between, the crime laboratory has led the fight in the war against wrongdoing.
This book is an attempt to chart that progress. Like its predecessor, The Casebook of Forensic Detection (1996), it highlights a wide array of criminal cases, all medico-legal classics, and all fascinating. They range across four continents and are presented alphabetically for easy reference. Each contains some forensic quirk or wrinkle that elevates it above the humdrum. It might be a flash of intuitive brilliance, more likely the result of painstaking research and study. They demonstrate how, from the first fumbling attempts to identify poisons and bullets through to the modern miracle of GPS satellite technology, with its ability to pinpoint anyone s whereabouts on the planet, the battle has been multifaceted; for, while no one would seriously dispute that fingerprinting and DNA are the major-league all-stars of the forensic world-each deservedly garnering the biggest headlines when it came along-elsewhere there have been scores of developments, no less important collectively, and they, too, are given due recognition.
As the title suggests, this book is predominantly devoted to the solving of
