Captain Sheryl McCollum Featured on CNN

Captain Sheryl McCollum of the Fulton County, Georgia, Sheriff's Department and Professor in the Department of Criminal Justice at Bauder College, spoke about "Teaching Science Through Mock Crime Scenes" at the fourth annual National Citizen Science Conference in Providence, Rhode Island, on 24-27 August 2006.

McCollum is the director of the Cold Case Investigative Research Institute, and recently CNN has been following four of her Bauder College students as they develop case files in an effort to shed light on two widely publicized murders. The victims were Chandra Levy and Natalee Holloway.

You can follow the progress of this investigation and meet the highly trained investigators working with the students at McCollum's CNN Director's Log blog.
