Inspector Vance's forensic skills were so effective that in 1934 there were 7 attempts on his life. Fortunately, criminals weren't too smart, they signed their names on the death threats! Looking forward to my talk at Vance's old lab @policemuseum Feb 17: https://t.co/YGcwAu17q7

Dear Valentine,
Even honorary Inspector John Vance can attest to your good looks! Speaking of John Vance we have a speaker series coming up hosted by Eve Lazarus!

Dear Valentine
I'm sure we have something special, I can feel it in my bones! Or perhaps that's just the bone saw?
Either way, you should visit our impressive display of autopsy equipment at the VPMA!
