Lecture: Germond Family Murders

TWO SEATS HAVE OPENED UP! SIGN UP USING THE EVENTBRITE LINK BELOW!

The Historical Society of Rockland County Invites You to 

The Germond Family Murders
Solving a Hudson Valley Cold Case

The multiple murders of James (Husted) Germond; his wife, Mabel; and their two children, Bernice and Raymond, at their Dutchess County farm in November 1930 is one of the most famous crimes ever committed in the Hudson Valley. Despite contemporary attention from President Franklin D. Roosevelt himself and from Pinkerton Detectives, and more recently from amateur sleuths and the press, the crime went unsolved for decades. 

In this special presentation, Dr. Vincent Cookingham discusses his forensic investigation into this long cold case, which resulted in the publication of The Germond Family Murders: A Forensic Conclusion to a Cold Case. Dr. Cookingham brought more than 50 years of investigative and forensic science experience as a law enforcement officer, consultant, and university professor to his examination of crime scene photographs and files that had not been examined by a qualified professional for more than ninety years.

The presentation will be followed by a Q&A with Dr. Cookingham and the chance to buy a signed copy of The Germond Family Murders.

Note: This lecture includes visual presentation of evidence that Dr. Cookingham uncovered during his investigation, which includes crime scene photos and other forensic evidence.
