The mention of Connecticut summons charming images of seaports and
peaceful rural areas, but this densely populated state has its share of
landmark crimes.Headline stories chronicled in this book focus on cases
solved through the use of forensic science, including the arsenic
poisoning of Mary Stannard, the Halloween golf-clubbing of Martha Moxley
by a Kennedy relative, and the wood chipper murder of Helle Crafts. Also
discussed are the killing spree of Michael Ross, the cold case murder of
Yale University student Suzanne Jovin, and the horrifying home-invasion
slaying of an upper-class Cheshire family
