One of the most prominent forensic scientists in the first half of the twentieth century lived here in Seattle. Luke May dedicated his career to using forensics to solve crimes and to search for the truth. He was sometimes referred to as “America’s Sherlock Holmes.” May operated a private forensic laboratory, and he investigated cases for both law enforcement and defendants. Near the end of his life, he received an award with an inscription that read:
Some seek truth for convenience;
some for recognition;
few have sought it so diligently
for so many years
to prove equally innocence or guilt
Luke May’s unbiased search for truth might be unusual in some professions, but it is not in yours and mine. More often than not, the search for the truth is not easy. It does not make you rich, and it rarely makes you famous.
