The lost explorer finding Mallory on Mount Everest
by Conrad Anker
(
Recording
)
4 editions published between 1999 and 2011 in English and held by 115 libraries worldwide When it was posted on the Internet in 1999, the photograph stunned the world. George Mallory's body, frozen into the slide of Mt. Everest since 1924, had been found. Jeffrey Demunn, reading David Roberts's account of the expedition, and Michael McGlone, offering Conrad Anker's first-person experience, deliver fine performances. Both refrain from overdramatizing the story, allowing the text to deliver it's own powerful message. McGlon's understated interpretation of Anker's search captures the hiker's respect and awe for Mallory and the mountain without getting mushy. Demunn's account, a bit more animated, brings the expedition's history to life, together Demunn and McGlone tell the story in a seamless partnership, rather than performing it.

)
1 edition published in 2003 in English and held by 20 libraries worldwide "Girly Chew Hossencroft, a well-liked Albuquerque resident, vanished without a trace in 1999. Almost immediately, her estranged husband and his new girlfriend emerged as the chief suspects in the case, but the only evidence investigators had to work with was blood from the scene, cat hairs and strangely colored sand. Despite the lack of a body and paucity of material evidence, Hossencroft's killers were ultimately convicted, and Tracings in Blood shows how with the help of forensic experts, investigators who worked on the case and others who were intimately involved. We'll also see how similar techniques were used to solve another New Mexico case, where five workers at a Hollywood Video Store were murdered in 1996. There, one piece of plastic proved to be the vital link that led to the killers.

A 21-year-old dental assistant, Penny Serra was stabbed to death in a New Haven parking garage in 1973, and the killer left blood samples and a fingerprint at the scene. But it wasn't until 1997, when the print was fed into a new, nationally linked print examiner, that the killer was caught. The man who killed 11-year-old Angelica Padilla didn't escape justice for nearly as long: fibers found in her hair led to a massive effort that eventually tied Angelica's neighbor to the crime."--Publisher's website.
