Forensic Firsts :
Today, crime investigation is a high-tech science. But how did forensic detection get its start? In a riveting 2-hour special, we trace the origins of four key investigative techniques: ballistics, trace (microscopic) evidence, the polygraph, and criminal profiling. Rarely told stories of murder, kidnapping, terrorism, and stalking reveal how these techniques were developed. Features interviews with top criminal investigators and true-crime authors.
