Die Forensikerin Patricia Wiltshire berichtet von wahren Verbrechen und wie die Natur bei deren Aufklärung hilftBei jedem Kriminalfall werden Spuren in der Natur hinterlassen – aber die Natur hinterlässt auch Spuren an uns. Die biologische Forensikerin Patricia Wiltshire ist eine Meisterin darin, diese Spuren zu lesen und berichtet in dieser True-Crime-Reportage von ihren spektakulärsten Fällen und offenbart, wie ihre Arbeit dazu beiträgt, die Verdächtigen der dunkelsten kriminellen Aktivitäten vor Gericht zu bringen. Es geht um Vergewaltigung, Mord, Entführung und die Suche nach versteckten Überresten. So führen Pollen an einer Jacke zum Täter und Erdspuren im Auto verraten, wo ein Möder seine Leiche vergraben hat. Faszinierend anschaulich erklärt Wiltshire, wie aus den einzelnen Puzzleteilen ganze Bilder in ihrem Kopf entstehen, die die entscheidenden Hinweise für die Aufklärung von Verbrechen geben.Die verräterischen Spuren der Natur: Einblicke in die Arbeit einer ForensikerinVon Schlammspuren auf einer ruhigen Landstraße bis hin zu Schmutz auf den Sohlen von Wanderschuhen - die Forensikerin und Kriminalbiologin Patricia Wiltshire nutzt ihr jahrzehntelanges wissenschaftliches Know-how, um oft übersehene Hinweise zu finden, die bei Verbrechen hinterlassen wurden. Mit wenig mehr als einem Mikroskop entdeckt sie Beweise und kann so den Täter, den Tatort und sogar den genauen Tathergang eines Verbrechens benennen. Wiltshires bemerkenswerte Genauigkeit hat sie zu einer der gefragtesten Polizeiberaterinnen der Welt gemacht. In dieser Sammlung berichtet Sie von den spektakulärsten Fällen, bei denen Sie bei der Aufklärung die entscheidenden Hinweise liefern konnte. True Crime, die spannender ist als jeder Krimi!
