The Skakel-Moxley case-which seized the headlines because it involved the nephews of Ethel Kennedy and the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy-had remained unsolved for three decades, that is until Dr. Lee investigated the case. In the fall of 1975, the partially clad body of fifteen-year-old Martha Moxley was founded by a neighbor near the home of Rushton Skakel, the older brother of Ethel Kennedy. The night before, Martha had visited Skakel's teenage sons at their house while their father was away on a hunting trip. At 10 PM Martha reportedly left the Skakel residence to return to her own house, two hundred yards away. She never made it home.
For twenty-four years no one was prosecuted. Finally, in 1999, Dr. Lee and two other professionals were appointed to a special task force charged with reviewing all of the evidence and reinvestigating the case. In May of 2002, the case finally came to trial and Dr. Lee testified before the jury. Dr. Lee's testimony focused on a reconstruction of the crime scene and "indirect forensic evidence," The ultimate verdict surprised many experienced courtroom observers.
The murder of six-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey in 1996 creates to this day a frenzy of media speculation, partly because local Colorado authorities bungled the initial handling of the evidence. Two months after the discovery of the little girl's body, Dr. Lee was asked to help with the inquiry. He provides a particularly extensive discussion of the complexities of this provocative case.
Dr. Lee describes his investigation of three other engrossing murder cases-Concetta "Penney" Serra, Lisa Peng, and Suzan Barratt- each having dramatic twists and turns and many stunning surprises. He presents in scientific detail how he investigated the deaths, analyzed the evidence, and used techniques that have played a critical role in bringing many criminals to justice.
This page-turner by a world-renowned expert offers a fascinating insider's look into the pursuit of truth and justice in some of the most notorious and troubling criminal cases of recent times.
