Criminal Poisoning: Investigational Guide For Law Enforcement, Toxicologists, Forensic Scientists, And Attorneys - Plot & Excerpts
My review of the international literature has revealed only a few scattered scientific papers dealing with the psychology of the poisoner. In addition, books on medical jurisprudence and forensic investigation have devoted only a few pages to this important subject, usually stating that it is a rare occurrence. How do we know the true rarity of the use of poisons or homicide? All one has to do is look at the number of poisonings that are first documented only after the exhumation of the deceased in order to raise the logical question, “If we missed this one, how many more have been missed?” If all those buried in our cemeteries who were poisoned could raise their hands, we would probably be shocked by the numbers! For years, the homicidal poisoner has remained shrouded in mystery. What little we think we know about the criminal poisoner represents only the tip of an iceberg, with the majority of our knowledge still remaining hidden under the surface. It is hoped that this work will serve as a valuable tool in the hands of the criminal investigator, forensic scientist, toxicologist, and attorney, and better increase our chances of avenging each victim of a homicidal poisoner.
