The killing room

de Diana Hunter Jones

"The first notice that Scott Dunn's father had of his son's dissapearance came via a call from Scott's live-in girlfriend. Although a forensic investigation did indicate that foul play had occurered in Scott's bedroom, without a body or a weapon the case stalled-until Scott's father got in touch with the Vidocq Society of Forensic Scientists, which he'd learned about on an episode of 48 Hours. This program demonstrates that evidence of fatal blood loss gathered through luminol testing and blood analysis for DNA, spatter, and volume can constitute a "body" for the purpose of an indictment for murder."--Container.
