Telltale Bodies

By refining and expanding on the work of the founders of criminology, today’s forensic scientists link crime victims to perpetrators in ways that almost defy belief. In this program, Professor Matile of France’s Museum of Natural History; Professor Evenot, expert in odontology; and noted anthropologist Professor Perrot discuss the ways in which microscopy, entomology, dental records, and facial reconstruction help police solve crimes. The classic contributions of Lacassagne to ballistics, Revenstorf to forensic biology, Megnien to forensic entomology, and Guerassimov, who is shown actually doing a facial reconstruction, round out the historical background on these remarkable procedures. (55 minutes)
