The Homicide
Investigations Course
Learn to work a death investigation the way a real detective does — decision by decision. From the first call to the courtroom, taught in Christine Burke's own voice across twelve weekly lessons, ending in your Certified Detective badge.
Opens to members Thursday, Oct 8 · 6 PM PT
Educational case-study training — presumed innocent, never accusatory.
