Luke S. May played a significant role in the development of
scientific methods of crime investigation. Although basically
self-taught in scientific matters, May spent over a half century
practicing scientific crime detection and built a solid reputation
among police agencies and attorneys in the Pacific Northwest and
Western Canada as a serious and effective scientific investigator.
This reputation as "America's Sherlock Holmes" also led to his
being consulted on the establishment of the first full service
public American crime laboratory at Northwestern University in
Chicago, Illinois, and on a laboratory for the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police at Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. When May began, few
people, anywhere, used scientific tools to investigate crime.
Except for a couple of minimal installations in Europe, there were
no crime labs. So to solve his cases - criminal and civil - May
improved or invented techniques in every area of forensic science
in the era before public crime laboratories. Along the way, he
exchanged ideas with many other well-known crime fighting pioneers.
American Sherlock: Remembering a Pioneer in Scientific Crime
Investigation is the biography of this innovative criminologist,
giving a case-based account of his life and honoring him as one of
the pioneers of scientific crime detection.
