Larry McClain is back by popular demand. You may remember Larry from our first ever episode of DFIRL “Murder in St. Louis - The Remarkable Case of Pam Hupp”. Today, he’s here to discuss his work on another tragic case, the murder of Dorothy Hall by her ex-boyfriend, Terry Culberson.

What is interesting about this story is how well it demonstrates one of the biggest strengths that digital evidence has over other kinds of evidence; the ability to show what’s in a criminal’s mind. Whether a crime was intentional or accidental has a big impact on sentencing in our justice system, and Larry’s investigation shows how well digital devices can help us understand a perpetrator’s guilty mind.
