Professor Fiona Gabbert: How can Psychology Help with Unsolved (Cold Case) Investigations? [Greenwich Skeptics in the Pub]

The Cold Case Investigations Team, based in the Psychology Department at Goldsmiths University, examine unsolved missing person and unidentified body cases. This talk will feature a case study about a murder victim who was pulled from the North Sea 28 years ago. How can psychological techniques help uncover new investigative leads that might help identify him?

Fiona Gabbert is a Professor of Applied Psychology, and co-Director of the Cold Case Investigation Team at Goldsmiths University of London. Her research in the fields of suggestibility of memory and investigative interviewing has had an international impact on operational procedure and policy including the introduction of new evidence-based investigative interview tools and training resources to the field. Fiona and her team are currently working with the charity – Locate International – to help improve cold case investigations.
