Death Investigator's Handbook quickly became an essential addition to every law enforcement library when it was first published in 1993. Ten years later, veteran homicide investigator Louis Eliopulos completely updated and expanded it to include all the latest scientific and technological advances in the field of death investigations, including DNA, cold cases, bioterrorism, mass-disaster sites, trace evidence recovery, profiling secrets, and much more. To make his manual even handier for working professionals we have divided it into three separate volumes: crime scenes, investigations, and scientific investigations, making it easier to take the appropriate section into the field, the interrogation room, or the lab. And it also means that more people can use the manual at the same time. Volume One has 13 chapters on crime scenes, including: Dead-Body Examinations Crime-Scene Drawings Crime-Scene Searches Evidence Collection Photographing Death Scene Body-Dump Site Videotaping Death Scenes Buried-Body Cases Decomposed Remains Blood Spatter Time Frame of Death If you want to know more about the art and science of crime-scene processing, go to the source the professionals use to catch real killers: Death Investigator's Handbook. Louis N. Eliopulos is a senior homicide investigations analyst with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), where he reviews, consults and suggests investigative analysis and strategy on active and cold-case homicide investigations from all over the world. Before being employed by NCIS, Eliopulos was chief forensic investigator for the medical examiner's office in Jacksonville, Florida. |
