Crimes Of Passion: When killers are driven by jealousy and desire, their desperation is evident in both the crime and their efforts to avoid detection. But forensic science can reveal even the slightest mistake to solve crimes of passion.

Shattered Vows: A frantic husband calls 911, claiming his wife is dead, bleeding profusely from the head upon his return to their home. The husband of the recently deceased, claims his wife tripped and fell down the stairs. The autopsy report says the victim suffered 7 blows to the head. Forensics experts are employed to link the woman’s husband to her violent murder. A traffic accident leaves a woman dead, and her husband badly shaken. Upon further investigation, the woman’s injuries are not consistent with those sustained from a vehicle accident. Authorities examine the victim’s home and find traces of the woman’s blood after receiving a tip from a man who aided the victim’s husband in the attempted cover-up. Marriage is one of the tightest bonds two people can have with one another, until lies and deceit drive one of those people to kill.

Murderous Attraction: A family moving into a new home opens a large drum on the property and find the mummified remains of a woman dead for nearly 25 years. Forensics experts take samples of both the drum, and the remains of the woman inside, who was pregnant at the time of her death. Samples extracted lead investigators to the owner of an old plastics factory, the deceased’s former employer, who chooses to commit suicide in order to avoid police. The Supervising Nurse at a hospital noticed the number of deaths in the small ICU unit had more than doubled from the previous year with no increase in admissions. She found that a particular nurse was on duty during 80% of those deaths, and brought her findings to hospital administrators. A medical task force was formed, and the nurse in question’s home was searched. Investigators found drugs that, witnesses would corroborate, the nurse injected into patients just before they died. The nurse was convicted of several deaths. Sometimes those we trust and would never suspect of misdeeds, misuse that trust in the worst possible ways.
