In this Episode, Ali and Sarah talk about the famous deductive skills of Forensic Pathologist Sir Sydney Smith. They briefly discuss a case in Egypt where Sydney Smith had just 3 bones to examine but was able to tell a great deal about how the victim had died. Then they go into detail about the murder of John Thomas in 1939 and how systematically reconstructed Johns death from the evidence at the crime scene.
