Spring Conference 2010 - Success!
The Kansas IAI Spring Conference happened in Manhattan, Kansas on March 23-24 at the Alumni Center at Kansas State University. Many speakers presented their portion of the investigation in the Kelsey Smith kidnapping and murder, and Kelsey's parents came and spoke.
It was a powerful reminder of the important role crime scene and other investigators play in protecting society from predators.
