The New Detectives: Case Studies in Forensic Science Infallible Witness (1996–2005) Online

Kirkland, WA police were called on Mother's Day to a murder scene. Handprints were found on a bedsheet, but unclear; computer enhancement was used to identify the killer. A California fur trapper found a mattress in the snow, covering 2 bodies: a male with tattoos and his girlfriend; shotgun blasts had killed them. Laser light sources were used to see arterial blood spurts below the fresh paint in a suspect's home with a missing mattress. An Iowa brain researcher is developing a brain-fingerprinting technique to analyze a suspect's response to crime scene evidence. The FBI is studying whether it can be used forensically; one difficulty is differentiating between a witness and a guilty criminal. Someday a suspect's brain waves may be a witness for the prosecution.
