Abstract:
Addressing methods particularly valuable to cold cases, the book provides information on cold case reconstruction, investigative techniques, and case reviews. The author merges theory with practice using case histories, photographs, illustrations, and checklists to convey concepts and provide a practical basis for cold cases. He combines techniques from forensics, psychology, and criminal investigation that have proven effective in this field, paying special attention to technologies that may not have been available at the time of the crime. Coverage includes the legal perspective of following a cold case from reopening through trial.
