When
Louis Eliopulos wrote Death Investigator’s Handbook in
1993, it was the first manual to combine information from dozens
of scientific and technical manuals into one easy-to-use reference
specifically for homicide investigators. It became an instant
classic and is currently used by homicide divisions in federal,
state and local law enforcement agencies (including the FBI);
the investigative agencies of the U.S. armed forces; medical
examiners and coroners across the United States and around
the world; and criminology departments at many universities.
But a lot has happened since it first appeared. This expanded
and updated edition brings death investigation up to the minute.
It contains 50 percent more material than the original and
reveals all the new scientific and technical developments in
the field of death investigation, including the very latest
on DNA, cold cases, bioterrorism, mass disaster sites, illuminating
sources for revealing stains, profiling secrets and much, much
more. Interest in forensic medicine has never been higher.
Professionals are faced with the need to solve more cases in
less time and with fewer resources, and through popular television
shows, movies and true-crime and mystery books, the public
has become fascinated with every aspect of homicide investigations
on the scene and in the lab. If you want to know more about
the art and science of crime-scene processing, forensic evaluations
and investigative techniques, go to the source that professionals
use to catch real killers: Death Investigator’s Handbook.
