10:00 – 11:30 Crime Scene Investigation in the Real World

                        by Dr. Matthew E. Johll

                        We’ve all seen it on TV.  The police arrive at the scene of the crime and miraculously find the stray hair or fiber or the all-important fingerprint to nail the suspect for the crime.  They use state-of-the art technology and make it all happen in less than an hour!  Now we can learn the difference between what’s real and what is only on TV.  Dr. Johll is an author and a former professor at St. Norbert College.

Lunch is not provided in conjunction with these workshop sessions.

There are numerous local restaurants available in the local area.
