Dr Henry C Lee, well known criminalist and forensic scientist is adding an element of interactive teaching and tourism to his Institute in West Haven.
I Encountered Dr Henry C Lee on the Larry King Show
I 'm not sure where I encountered Dr Henry C Lee for the first time – I guess it was on the Larry King Show during the Laci Peterson Case or maybe Elizabeth Smart’s disappearance.
But I was hooked. Now understand, Larry King comes on at about 3am in South Africa on CNN International, but I didn’t miss a show.
Criminalist Dr Henry Lee and forensic Pathologist Dr Cyril H. Wecht were called in to examine the remains of Laci and the unborn baby. Both Lee and Wecht also investigated the death of federal intern Chandra Levy. That was another crime story I watched, unfolding.
When writing the article on Dr Henry C Lee I realized that he had also been on the OJ Simpson Case.
Interactive Museum and Education Centre
Last week I was interested to learn that according to the US Fed News Service, Gov. M. Jodi Rell, announced that a new interactive museum and education center, which is believed to be the first of its kind in the nation, will be built at the at the University of New Haven, in Connecticut, thanks to $1 million in state bond funds.
This new building at the Henry C Lee Forensic Science Institute which will house the museum and learning center, will exhibit prominent cases, investigative techniques, crime scenes, historical archives and interactive displays. Visitors will also be able to view work taking place in the DNA fingerprint and chemistry laboratories at the Institute.
The Henry C. Lee Forensic Science Insititue
The Henry C. Lee Forensic Science Institute already provides postgraduate training to law enforcement personnel from across the state and the country, and also provides consultation services to lawyers and police departments.
