Listen Later

Looks like these criminals used correct postage, 'cause justice is about to be delivered. Okay, there are no snappy one-liners in this crime scene investigation, but there are explosions, collisions, manhunts and even a cow who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Guests:

Lynn Heidelbaugh, curator at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum

Chelsea Rose, Director of the Southern Oregon University Laboratory of Anthropology

Kate Winkler Dawson, author of American Sherlock: Murder, Forensics and the Birth of American CSI
