For years you've matched wits with Columbo, Jessica Fletcher, and Ben Matlock in TV and movie mysteries. The Science of Solving Crime. The diner has been robbed at gun point. When the police respond, they discover a body in the alley. The short-order cook is the only witness.
Visitors gather evidence at the scene, then visit hands-on stations to solve the crime.
The interactive exhibit explores scientific methods and technologies used to solve crimes, including DNA profiling, fingerprinting, firearm identification, forensic anthropology, pathology, entomology, odontology, evidence collection, and trace evidence. Visitors collect, analyze, and synthesize data to deduce various suspects' innocence or guilt at crime lab stations. This will be Whodunit's third appearance at the Museum. First premiering here in 1993, the nationally acclaimed exhibit was actually created and built by the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. The exhibit provides a better understanding of the specialized skills and technologies employed in solving crimes.
