Famed Forensic Scientist Dr. Henry Lee to Speak at Buffalo State College
Dr. Henry Lee, one of the world's foremost forensic scientists, will give a free lecture at Buffalo State College on Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2002, at 6 p.m. in Rockwell Hall Auditorium.
Lee will speak on "New Advances in Forensic Investigation with National and International Cases."
Lee's work has become the benchmark in blood-stain pattern analysis and he has worked with law enforcement agencies in helping to solve more than 6,000 cases. In recent years, his travels have taken him to England, Bosnia, China and Brunei.
Currently chief emeritus for the Scientific Services for the state of Connecticut, Lee previously served as its Commissioner of Public Safety and its chief criminologist and is acknowledged as the driving force in establishing a modern State Police Forensic Science Laboratory there.
Lee has taught at more than a dozen universities, law schools and medical schools and lectures worldwide to police, universities and civic organizations. He has authored hundreds of articles in professional journals and has co-authored more than 25 textbooks covering such areas as DNA, fingerprints, trace evidence, crime scene investigation and crime scene analysis. He has testified in some of this country's most notorious murder cases, including the O. J. Simpson trial and the "woodchipper" murder and has been a key consultant in the investigation of the JonBenet Ramsey murder, the mystery surrounding Vince Foster's death and the reinvestigation of the John F. Kennedy assassination and the Sacco and Vanzetti case.
Lee was born in China in 1938 and graduated from the Taiwan Central Police College with a degree in police science. In 1972 he earned his B.S. degree in forensic science from John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. He went on to study science and biochemistry at New York University and earned his M.S. degree in 1974 and his Ph.D. in 1975. He also holds an honorary doctor of laws from Roger Williams University in Rhode Island and an honorary doctor of humane letters from St. Joseph College and the University of Bridgeport in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Lee, whose talk is sponsored by the Buffalo State College Faculty of Applied Science and Education, the college's Criminal Justice Department and its Criminal Justice Student Club, will be available after the lecture to sign his latest book, "Cracking Cases: The Science of Solving Crimes," which will be for sale at a discounted price.
