Forensics

Product Description

A fingerprint identifies a single poisoner, a strange inndentation in a caravan panel proves a hit-run driver's guilt, and a mass DNA screening flushes out a brutal criminal. Vikki Petraitis has interviewed Australian police from forensics, fingerprints, criminal investigation units and homicide to write these stranger-than-fiction true crime stories.
Poison Ivy- the Melbourne woman so dubbed because of her habbit of drugging and robbing lonely, vulnerable men.
The De Gruchy case- in which three members of a family were found brutally murdered in their home outside Wollongong. Forensic evidence alone proved the identity of hte killer.
Death at Violet town- a fatal collision in which a hit run driver killed a 12 year old boy at easter. Meticulous forebsic detection, and a stroke of luck, resulted in a conviction after a tense six-month hunt.
