Science casts doubt on famous British murder case

Date:10/16/2007

ives. To paraphrase the famed attorney in the O.J. Simpson murder trial, Johnnie Cochran, if the DNA doesnt fit, you cant convict.

Wills spent some seven years pouring through genealogical records and taking on the somewhat nontraditional task of finding living female relatives of Cora Crippens mother.

Usually, in genealogy, you work backwards, but in this case, we went forward, she said.

As she traced through the family line, she found elderly relatives who remembered talk of a family scandal, one where a woman had been murdered by her husband in London. She ultimately located three grandnieces.

We took a lot of precautions when doing this testing, Foran said. We just didnt stop. We went back and started from scratch and tested it again. The DNA in the sample is different from the known relatives of Cora Crippen.

Crippen was not convicted just of murder but the murder of Cora Crippen, Trestrail said. If that body is not Cora, then thats another trial.
