Berkeley, California, 1933 In a lab chock-full of flasks, microscopes, Bunsen burners, and hundreds and hundreds of books, sits a man destined to become one of America's first forensic scientists and successfully solve more than XNUMX crimes in his career. His name is Edward Oskar Heinrich, and he rightfully deserves the admiring nickname of the American Sherlock Holmes. Oskar Heinrich worked during Prohibition and the Great Depression. At a time when even simple fingerprinting was considered a novelty and raised great doubts in court, and crimes were investigated with the help of the intelligence and perseverance of the police. And only the genius of Heinrich gave the police such seemingly obvious methods today as blood spatter analysis, ballistic examination and latent fingerprint analysis. Before you is a documentary history of the life, activities and investigations of a man who created with his own hands much of what modern forensics is based on.
