Beyond the silver screen, forensic science has been used for decades to help solve even the most tough-to-crack cases. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 2018, the accused Golden State Killer, Joseph DeAngelo, was finally apprehended after a decades-long investigation thanks to a very recent technique called forensic genealogy, which has since led to the closure of hundreds of cold cases, bringing long-awaited justice to victims and families alike. But when it comes to solving these incredibly difficult cases, forensic genealogy is just the tip of the iceberg—and many readers have no idea just how far down that iceberg goes.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For Laurah Norton, forensic science was always more of a passion than anything else. But after learning about a mishandled 1990s cold case involving missing twins, she was spurred to action, eventually creating a massively popular podcast and building a platform that helped bring widespread attention and resources to the case. \u003ci\u003eLay Them to Rest\u003c\/i\u003e builds on Laurah’s fascination with these investigations, introducing readers to the history and evolution of forensic science, from the death masks used in Ancient Rome to the 3-D facial reconstruction technology used today. Incorporating the stories of real-life John \u0026amp; Jane Does from around the world, Laurah also examines how changing identification methods have helped solve the most iconic cold cases. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Engrossing, informative, heartbreaking, and hopeful, \u003ci\u003eLay Them to Rest\u003c\/i\u003e is a deep dive into the world of forensic science, showing readers how far we’ve come in cracking cases and catching killers, and illuminating just how far we have yet to go.","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49348542497072,"sku":"BDhb8y","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49348542529840,"sku":"ZEhb8y","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/hb8y-Square-cover.jpg?v=1778165316","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-hb8y","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
