Program Description
Event Details
We've all read it in novels and watched it on TV: a person vanishes and a lone detective solves the case in 48 hours. But what actually happens when a Pennsylvanian goes missing?
Join us for an evening with State Trooper James Grothey and officers from the Manheim Township Police Department as they pull back the curtain on the real-world investigative process.
From the critical first hours and to the role of digital forensics and community alerts, learn how law enforcement navigates the complexities of search and recovery. Discover the truth behind "The First 48," the legal hurdles of the job, and how real life is much more intricate than fiction.
Registration is encouraged
