Famous Forensic Scientist, Dr. Henry Lee, Comes to Omaha, 10 April

From our friends at the Nebraska Chinese Assocation…

Dr. Henry Lee Presentation at Creighton University on April 10, FREE
dinner!

Dr. Henry C. Lee is one of the world’s foremost forensic scientists. Dr. Lee’s work has made him a landmark in modern-day forensic sciences. He has been a prominent player in many of the most challenging cases of the last 40 years. Dr. Lee has worked with law enforcement agencies in helping to solve more than 6000 cases. In recent years, his travels have taken him to England, Bosnia, China, Brunei, and other locations around the world.

Dr. Henry Lee’s testimony figured prominently in the O. J. Simpson trial, and in convictions of the “Wood chipper” murderer as well as hundreds of other murder cases. Dr. Lee has assisted local and state police in their investigations of other famous crimes, such as the murder of Jon Benet Ramsey in Boulder, Colorado; the 1993 suicide of White House Counsel Vincent Foster; the Kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart; the Chandra Levy case; and the reinvestigation of the Kennedy assassination.

Dr. Lee is currently a Distinguished Chair Professor in Forensic Science, Vice President of Global Affairs, and the director of the Forensic Research and Training Center of University of New Haven. He was the Chief Emeritus for Connecticut State Police during 2000 to 2010 and was the Commissioner of Public Safety for the State of Connecticut during 1998 to 2000. He served as that state’s Chief Criminalist and Director of State Police Forensic laboratory from 1978 to 2000. Dr. Lee was the driving force in establishing a modern State Police Forensic Science Laboratory in Connecticut.

Dr. Lee will be giving a dinner presentation at Creighton University on Tuesday, April 10, where he will talk about his life and career. His incredible story of a young Chinese immigrant from Taiwan becoming a world-famous forensic scientist and highly respected American law enforcement leader and executive is an inspiration for all immigrants and particularly those from China and Taiwan.
