Murderous History

Crime / History

They happened in times of war and peace, during daylight and darkness, and to victims old and young.

Join us as we travel back to times when autopsies were done by hand and detectives had to overcome the limited tools of their era--and often invented new forensic techniques on the fly--in a race to catch the killers before they strike again.
