Friday I talked to WBOC’s Delmarva Life<\/a> about the dark underside of history, the subject of a program hosted by the Wesley College Parker Library on Tuesday evening, Feb. 22, 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Delaware Humanities talk, “CSI: The Historical Edition,”<\/a> considers some of the most disturbing, mysterious crimes from yesteryear, as it examines how lawmen from another era solved murders (or didn’t solve) their most horrendous cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
