In this story of criminal detection, the author - a former FBI agent - presents an inside look at how a malicious detective framed two boys in a pair of unrelated murders in 1956 and 1958. In ths first case, 11-year old Charlie Zubryd confessed that at the age of eight, he murdered his widowed mother. Following intense police questioning, Charlie confessed to the crime in March 1959, a full 28 months after the murder of his mother. The second murder occurred in 1958. Thirteen-year old Jerry Pacek endured 41 hours of police grilling before confessing to raping and killing 50-year old Lillian Steveck as she walked home one evening. Pacek told the same Detective who had framed Charlie Zubryd that he had killed the woman with a variety of blunt objects, none of which were ever found. The author's investigations cleared the names of the wrongfully accused boys. The Zubryd case was reopened, which led to the identification of a vicious killer. In 1991, Jerry Pacek was granted a full pardon after serving ten years in an adult prison as a teenager for a murder he had not committed.

How do you prove someone guilty of murder when the best piece of evidence-the victim's body-is missing? Exclusively dedicated to the investigation and prosecution of no-body homicide cases, this book provides the author's insight gained from investigating and trying a no-body case along with what he's learned consulting on scores of others across the country. A practical guide for police and prosecutors, it takes an expansive look at both the history of no-body murder cases and the best methods to investigate, solve, and bring them to court. Taking readers step by step from the first days of a homicide investigation through the trial, the book explores the history of confessions, the use of jailhouse snitches to get information, and CSI-style forensics utilized in solving a case. It delves into the psychological profile of the type of defendant who murders someone and then hides the body and reviews methods criminals have used to dispose of bodies. It also discloses the investigative techniques police must use to catch these devious killers. Using real-life case studies, No-Body Homicide Cases: A Practical Guide to Investigating, Prosecuting, and Winning Cases When the Victim is Missing summarizes and analyzes the nearly 400 no-body murder trials in U.S. history, enabling readers to leverage the similarities in these cases with their own scenarios. The book is an essential resource for all investigators and a roadmap to a conviction for prosecutors.

Dr Albert P Cardarelli (University of Massachusetts, Boston) and Dr. Charles Wellford (University of Maryland, College Park) opened the conference by presenting their research to help illuminate the consequences of unsolved murders and the variables that have contributed to the decline in clearance rates. Their research revealed that the changing nature of crime, the decentralisation of police departments, and the rise in gang violence have all had an impact on the effectiveness of homicide investigations. Law enforcement executives, academics, attorneys, and federal government representatives addressed the different effective strategies that have been developed to combat these problems, including various management and personnel decisions, videotaping suspect interviews, considering the availability of eyewitness identification options (simultaneous line-ups versus sequential line-ups), DNA analysis, and using cold case units and crime analysts to increase clearance rates. Case studies presented at the conference highlighted both the strengths and weaknesses associated with various investigation techniques. A town hall forum allowed attendees to discuss variables that contribute to an effective homicide unit. A lively discussion ensued, with participants mainly focusing on the role of science and technology, specifically how technology may at first appear to complicate the process but ultimately assists law enforcement by fostering change and improving investigational methods.
