This is a fascinating collection of biggest the criminal cases that have been solved by the development of forensic profiling in Britain. Fibers and DNA evidence proved crucial in the investigation of M25 rapist, Antoni Imiela, in the biggest linked police inquiry since the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper 20 years ago. Imiela was caught and convicted of seven rapes, kidnap and indecent assault on victims as young as ten, and was given life in prison. When the mutilated body of 90-year-old Mabel Leyshon was found laid out in her home in a ritualized fashion—which included the removal of her heart—police were left with only a partial footprint to go on. But when they looked closely at the saucepan that was used to collected the victim's blood, they found the presence of a lip mark on its edge. This macabre finding gave the police an insight into a motive that was ultimately linked with vampirism. Matthew Hardman was later arrested and sentenced to life. Amazingly, from thousands of individual pieces of evidence collected from crime scenes, the most significant can be as small as a single dog hair or as random as a flake of paint.

Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. Hardback. A gruesome string of murderers, rapists and criminals who laughed at the law for years are being brought to justice through DNA profiling. The revolutionary technique of 'genetic fingerprinting' has meant convictions, long after they committed their crimes, for the evil men who mistakenly thought they had escaped detection. Cases that have ended with the guilty men standing in the dock are chronicled in this fascinating examination of the past two decades of forensic crime-fighting and how it has finally put the villains where they belong - behind bars. From the sensational groundbreaking case of bakery worker Colin Pitchfork who murdered two teenage girls near his Leicestershire home to the historic conviction of teenage shop assistant Craig Harman - tracked down by his close relative's DNA for slaying an innocent lorry driver by hurling a brick at him from a motorway bridge - this engrossing book details the crime, the criminals and the men and women who brought them to justice. With Epilogue and Glossary. 296pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. V. lightly browned edges o/w Nr. F. in F. dw. Seller Inventory # 16629
