Hello,
Several of the topics covered in this upcoming webinar seemed like they may be of interest to subscribers of this list. Two presentations will focus on murder investigations as covered by a north Texas news station and another will cover the Estes Kefauver crime committee hearings, which were broadcast on television and watched by 30 million people.
