Doses Of Evidence | TRIPLE EPISODE | The New Detectives

Fatal Compulsion: Forensic psychologists delve into the minds of serial killers, explaining why, most often, they can be a friendly neighbor or the tenacious co-worker - the one who hides his or her dark side better than anyone else. Detectives show us what forensic techniques, the VICAP system and clever investigating have done to bring these killers to justice.

Bodies of Evidence: It is difficult to convict a murderer if the body can't be found. But forensic science is finding ways to do it. Devious killers can think up many was to dispose of their victim's remains, but they are often no matches for creative and devoted investigators. A speck of blood, a piece of a fingernail or a strand of hair may now be enough evidence to prove a murder and capture a killer.

Shreds of Evidence: Hairs and Fibers: The tiniest filament can become a mark of distinction in the most singular and intimate of ways. Investigators have come to rely on forensic evidence as fine as a carpet fiber or as innocent as an eyelash to crack difficult cases.

The New Detectives is an American docudrama where world-renowned forensics experts and criminal investigators solve a wide range of cases.

Some scenes in this program have been reenacted, due to the sensitive nature of the show, viewer discretion is advised.
