Over the years Shattered Lives Radio has presented several shows with guests from the Henry C. Lee Institute in New Haven, CT, including a visit with the well known expert, Henry Lee himself.

The Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science links scholars, students, forensic scientists, the legal community and professional practitioners in many fields in addressing the scientific and social issues confronting forensic science and the criminal justice system throughout the world. Through training, consultation, research and a unique public learning center, the Institute’s goal is to make the criminal justice system more effective. This is achieved through more accurate and cost-effective crime scene investigations and better crime prevention measures.

Dr. Henry C Lee is one of the most popular instructors in crime scenes, forensic evidence and criminal investigation in the law enforcement field. A giant in the field of forensic science, he has assisted law enforcement agencies in over 6,000 major investigations and cases around the world.

Dr. Lee believes that with 40 years of experience, his major area of specialization is putting the case together; reconstructing a crime. He is quoted as saying that the success lies in how you interpret the results. Because of his many years as one of the world leading forensic scientists Dr Lee is a leading proponent of a focussed local and systematical approach to crime and to processing a crime scene.
