Dr Andrew’s examination and courtroom testimony helped to solve a real-life murder mystery.
Investigation of a complex homicide demonstrates the critical importance of forensic science teamwork. Multiple forensic sciences represent an integrative whole with each piece playing its designated role in bringing about successful resolution of the case.
This concept is vividly brought to life in After the Smoke Cleared, an account of the quest for justice for Kelly Hancock, a 14-year-old girl brutally killed by a sexual predator.
Retired Detective Lieutenant Bill Powers, lead detective on the case chronicles the investigation from discovery of an apparent arson fire in Malden, MA to discovery of a body in Hooksett, NH to the trail that closed the circle on Kelly’s killer. The reader will experience the integration of crime scene and arson investigation, forensic pathology and anthropology, DNA analysis and dogged detective work.
Dr. Andrew’s role in the recovery, identification, and examination, including the determination of cause of death and courtroom testimony is recounted by Det. Lt. Powers.
“When the Smoke Cleared” is available on Amazon and wherever quality books are sold.
