Prepare for a monthly series of true crime stories written by Pat Wertheim
I'm thrilled to introduce a recurring guest writer for this newsletter, Pat Wertheim. For those in the forensic science community, Pat’s name is legendary—and for good reason. He has dedicated the last five decades to shaping the field of forensic fingerprint examination, leaving an indelible mark on examination practices worldwide.
Pat has trained thousands of latent print examiners and contributed research that has shaped forensic science, ethics, and the justice system. His expertise has been critical in shedding light on issues like erroneous identifications and the dark realities of fabricated evidence. From his involvement in investigating the Harry Oakes murder in the Bahamas to exposing fabricated evidence in the Fred Van Der Vyver case in South Africa, Pat’s career is full of groundbreaking work that has both exonerated the innocent and held corrupt officials accountable.
In his monthly series, Pat will be sharing personal stories from his incredible career in law enforcement and forensics. You’ll get an insider’s perspective on gripping true crime cases and the relentless pursuit of truth through science. His dedication to the ethical use of evidence, as well as his passion for mentoring the next generation of forensic professionals, will be evident in each post.
I’m honored to have Pat Wertheim here to share his wealth of knowledge and experience with us. Get ready for a fascinating look into the world of forensics from a true pioneer in the field!
