Hidden In The Shadows | TRIPLE EPISODE | The New Detectives

Critical Evidence: A man discovers skeletal remains lying just outside the African Lion Safari section of an Ontario zoo. An anthropologist assisted forensics professionals in the autopsy to help determine cause of death. The team searching for the victim’s identity employed a bizarre technique of re-hydration to attempt to lift a fingerprint. Once the victim had a name, authorities would have to piece together the cause of death.
A woman finds the body of a 76-year-old man, who had been shot. Several footprints were found at the scene, and some items from the victim’s home had been stolen. Authorities began looking for known burglars in the area, and compared shoe samples with those from the victim’s home. Detectives would also have to use ingenious techniques to find the bullet that killed the man.
Whether it is a fingerprint or a single bullet, sometimes it is the smallest pieces of evidence that are needed to crack the biggest cases.
Fatal Twist: A real estate agent is found beaten and strangled in the basement of a home that was for sale. Police and crime techs find boot and finger prints on the woman’s body. The agent’s car is searched; a pad with her name on it reveals a fingerprint. Some of the agent’s jewelry had been pawned, and investigators link fingerprints from the jewelry to those found on the victim, and a massive search is undertaken for the murderers.
A pregnant woman is found dead in her bathtub, at first glance appearing to be the victim of a robber gone bad. The victim’s husband is contacted and says he was not at the house the night of the apparent murder. An autopsy reveals the woman died of asphyxiation and trauma to the head. Investigators uncover blood that belongs to the victim, and the husband as well, concluding that the man killed his pregnant wife. Relying on murder to get what you want is often the quickest way behind bars.
Vanished: An 18-year-old girl is found raped and strangled in a Harlem stairwell. DNA is collected from the victim’s body and is compared to that of other rape suspects being held in jail; it doesn’t match. Another girl with a similar description is found dead, and police feel they have a serial killer on their hands. A man’s name is found from the phone records of one of the victims, and authorities would have to attempt to obtain DNA sample from the man to prove his guilt.
Several missing women all linked to a man offering them jobs or money, sparked a search of the man’s hotel room. Authorities found remains of several women in large drum barrels. The medical examiner and authorities would have to determine the identity of each of the victims, as well as attempt to locate other missing women linked the killer.
Murderers will often go to great lengths to keep their crimes concealed, but forensic evidence is often impossible to cover up.
The New Detectives is an American docudrama where world-renowned forensics experts and criminal investigators solve a wide range of cases.
