Detective by Design: Tracing Lives Through Objects
About
From DNA to dental records, traditional ‘primary’ approaches to forensic human identification generally rely upon the physical body in the provision of evidence. In instances where these methods may not be readily available, ‘secondary’ methods - such as personal effects or body modifications - can help to play an integral role in narrowing down victim identity in instances of death, crime, and disaster. The often unique or sentimental nature of many items means they may also be recognised by families, representing the last tangible link to their missing loved one.Drawing upon her work with international police and investigative agencies across the globe, Dr Maria Maclennan – the world’s first ‘Forensic Jeweller’ – invites us to put on our detective hat, pick up our jeweller’s loupe, and embark on a true-crime adventure following the trail of clues that objects leave behind on both the body and at crime scenes.
