No Stone Unturned focuses on five of the most interesting cases with which NecroSearch assisted. The major appeal of this book is the selflessness of NecroSearch's members, who worked tirelessly to recover remains that would have otherwise probably never been found. In many cases, the offender may not have been convicted in a body-less homicide case. Reading about these people traveling thousands of miles, crawling around on their hands and knees in the middle of nowhere for sometimes twelve hours at a stretch to find nothing but a vertebrae, then carefully excavating remains, standing watch over them, losing sleep, and testifying about their discoveries in court gave me a whole new perspective on these types of investigations. I'm sure we have a wealth of technology to rely on nowadays, but the fact that the organization still exists is a testament to the difficulty of locating a hidden body.

This book was absolutely fascinating. I’ve been meaning to read it for years and needed a break from podcasts for a minute. The history of NecroSearch International is amazing and the stories shared are incredible, even when maybe not solved.
Although, I do have to say that I felt like they made doing meth sound like mostly good things - except that you might get acne and you might be murdered. Hmm.

Riveting. I rarely read non fiction and I’ve read this SEVERAL times it’s so fascinating.

Really well written non fiction about the history of forensics. As someone who lives in Colorado I had no idea we had so many people who helped shape the field. Broken down into 5 separate cases with information about prior to getting “the pig people” involved and what happens after.
