1. Yes, that was Cora Crippen/Belle Elmore’s remains in the cellar. The evidence was compelling enough in 1910 to have Crippen convicted in less than 30 mins.

@1pcornwell Happy birthday! 🥳

[Prof.Turi King @Turi__King]

I'm being awarded the @IHGS Julian Bickersteth Medal - awarded 'to persons who have made notable and exemplary contributions to family history studies'. I've been working in genetic genealogy for over 25 years so this is a lovely honour.

[IHGS - The School of Family History @IHGS]

Congratulations to Professor Turi King on being awarded Julian Bickersteth Memorial Medal. From leading the analysis that identified Richard III to pioneering genetic genealogy her work is ground breaking. “Family history & genetic genealogy have always been central to my work.”

[Prof.Turi King @Turi__King]

@KJF239 Oh that’s so great! I’m so pleased. 😊

[Prof.Turi King @Turi__King]

I wrote a piece for @globeandmail to go alongside The Secrets of our DNA being published by @PenguinCanada. I write about the power of our DNA and what it can tell us but also, perhaps more importantly, about what it can't tell us. 😊🧬

Turi King: ‘The Knox case shows there was a misunderstanding about what DNA can tell you’.

The expert who helped identify the remains of Richard III talks Hitler’s genitalia, the OJ trial, and what she tells crime writers.

I have a long commute & listen to a lot of podcasts. I can definitely recommend Confessions of a Book Collector with the fab @DavidHHeadley @GoldsboroBooks. I confess I had tears running down my cheeks listening to @alisonbarrow as I too love that scene from The Railway Children.

[Prof.Turi King @Turi__King]
