Forensics and Cold Case Investigations
January 18-19, 2010
· Fairfax, VA
January 17, 2010: Pre-Seminar Workshop for
Attendees
The advances in forensic sciences, technology, and
investigative processes applied to old evidence leads many investigators to
solve or close cold case. At this
seminar, Dr. Lee and Dr. Bush will share their individual and
collective knowledge to help participants further appreciate the power of
forensics and its importance in conducting cold case investigations.
Solving or closing cold cases provides a sense of
relief to the community and closure to the victim's family. Confidence in the judicial system is
reinforced. In addition, an arrest in
one case may yield information about another case. Forensic techniques that did not exist when the
crime occurred may be applied to old evidence. New evidence may surface as a result of forensics.
Dr. Henry
C. Lee, Chief Emeritus for the Scientific Services and former Commissioner
of Public Safety for the State of Connecticut, has served as the State's Chief Criminalist since 1979. He is a
Distinguished Professor at the University
of New Haven and founder of Henry C.
Lee Institute of Forensic Science at the University
of New Haven. Dr. Lee's work has made him a landmark in
modern-day forensic sciences. He has
been a prominent player in many of the most challenging cases of the last 40
years.
Dr. Leah
Bush, Chief Medical Examiner Commonwealth of Virginia is board certified in anatomic
pathology, clinical pathology and forensic pathology. Dr. Bush received her
BS in biology from Virginia Tech, her MS in biology from Virginia Commonwealth
University and her MD
from the Medical College of Virginia (MCV). She completed a pathology residency
at MCV and a forensic pathology fellowship at the Medical Examiner's Office in Richmond, Virginia.
