Florence Hildreth The Crime Tree

With modern advancements such as DNA profiling and high-tech computerized systems, the work of the Forensic Investigator has become both more complex and more straight forward. Straight forward in the sense that these days DNA can quickly incriminate or exclude someone from an investigation. But before the introduction of advanced DNA technology, forensic investigators had to rely more than ever on their own ability in locating, analyzing and interpreting the evidence that had been left at the scene of a crime and what had been taken away; which more often than not could be of very little value in obtaining that crucial link between victim and perpetrator that’s needed to secure a conviction.
But then there are the rare crime scenes that contain such an overwhelming amount of forensic evidence, that even before the use of DNA, it can result in a quick open and shut case.
This is the story of 17 year old, Florence Hildreth.
