Autopsy: Sex, Lies and Murder

Four crimes—all solved thanks to the help of forensic science. HBO presents an intriguing look at these four cases in the 11th edition of the smash-hit documentary series. Dr. Michael Baden--former Chief Medical Examiner of New York City--shows how forensic science and the "detectives of death" cracked this quartet of cases, including one brought to HBO's attention by a "plea of last resort" in the Autopsy e-mailbag on HBO.com. Segments include the death of a bird lover and his beloved cockatoo; a woman who suspects her brother was murdered by his wife; a hit-and-run driver who is brought to justice by an imprint found on his victim; and a kinky ménage a trois that leads to a case of “he said, she said.”
