episode 12: Alphonse Bertillon - Father of the Mug Shot
In this episode, we discuss Alphonse Bertillon, a 19th Century police officer who pioneered an identification system for reoffenders, including the mug shot and developed new ways of photographing crime scene evidence. He was hailed by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, helped solve the case of the missing Mona Lisa and was an expert witness in the Dreyfus Affair.
