Grade 9-College. Exploring the capabilities and limitations of forensic science, this program guides viewers through real-world murder cases and studies how a killer might thwart even the most advanced detection methods.

Featuring commentary from criminology experts, the program includes techniques that determine time and cause of death, such as the examination of insects in a corpse - or a pig carcass, if investigators need to re-create the crime. Originally broadcast by the BBC as How to Commit the Perfect Murder.
