Forensic Tales

#038 - On December 7, 1987, Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 1771, carrying 38 passengers and 5 crew members, departed from Los Angeles for what should have been a short flight to San Francisco.

Moments after reaching the standard cruising altitude of 22,000 feet, the pilots inside the aircraft signaled distress, telling air traffic controllers that shots had been fired. The airplane was sent falling down to the ground almost breaking the speed of sound.

All 43 people on board Flight 1771 were killed.

#037 - In June 2017, a young Chinese scholar, Yingying Zhang, was abducted in broad daylight while she waited at a bus stop near the University of Illinois campus. The entire encounter was caught on nearby surveillance cameras.

With no body, could forensic science and good old fashioned detective work put a wannabe serial killer behind bars?

#034 - During the early 2000’s, Mexico City was terrorized by a serial killer targeting elderly, single women. From 2002 until 2006, almost 50 elderly women had been brutally murdered inside their very own homes.

But, what was even more terrifying than a serial killer on the loose, was that police started to suspect that the killer they were hunting, was a female herself.

#033 - In January 1969, 23-year old Harvard graduate student, Jane Britton failed to show up to take an important exam. Her boyfriend and friends were immediately alarmed because this was completely out of character for the high performing student.

#032 - In 2005, 18-year old Noura Jackson was arrested and charged with stabbing her mother, Jennifer Jackson, over 50 times. Jennifer was found inside her Memphis, Tennessee home brutally murdered.

Although there was no forensic evidence linking Noura to her mother's murder, she did have a large cut on her hand on the night of the murder.

Is Noura Jackson a wrongfully accused teenager, charged with killing her own mother? Or is she a cold, blooded killer, guilty of committing one of the most heinous types of homicide?
