In the beginning of the 20th century, inspired by the Sherlock Holmes novels of Arthur Conan Doyle, scientists began to make their appearance at the crime scene. It was quickly discovered that studying the 'silent witnesses', crime-related physical evidence and traces, could provide a wealth of information. In many countries pioneers started to shape this new science area by formulating key principles and introducing novel methods and instrumentation. In the Netherlands, Co van Ledden Hulsebosch emerged as the first dedicated forensic scientist, and he quickly became a well-known figure. In 1945 he published his memoirs Forty Years of Detective Work, where he describes his most memorable cases and provides the reader with entertaining insights in how he was able to solve so many crimes through sound reasoning and the use of science. Almost eighty years later, a forensic academic network in the Netherlands is celebrating its 10-year anniversary. This network, consisting of forensic scientists from Dutch universities, academic medical centers, the Dutch Police, and the Netherlands Forensic Institute, is named after this Dutch forensic legend: the Co van Ledden Hulsebosch Center (clhc). For this special occasion, clhc-affiliated scientists and experts translated the memoirs of Co van Ledden Hulsebosch with the use of modern AI tools while also providing contemporary views and insights. Be amazed how relevant the work of Co van Ledden Hulsebosch still is for criminal investigations in the 21st century!
