(PRWEB) April 12, 2005 -- Having served as both a Detective and Detective
Sergeant with the City of Miami Police Department's Homicide Unit for over 20
years, Lt. Nelson Andreu has an unparallel wealth of investigative experience.
He investigated thousands of death cases ranging from routine natural deaths,
accidental deaths, industrial deaths, murders and suicides, to his working on
five separate serial killer investigations. These culminated in 2002 with the
conviction of Francisco Del Junco, a Miami serial killer who bludgeoned to death
and set fire to four women in South Florida. This investigation was recently
featured on A&E Television’s “Cold Case Files” program.
During Lt.
Andreu’s last 10 years in the Homicide Unit, he was in charge of the “Cold Case
Squad,” investigating hundreds of Miami’s open murder cases dating back to the
1940’s. Lt. Andreu and the investigators under his command solved dozens of
previously open murder cases, bringing closure to family members who for years
had anguished with unanswered questions and dwindling hope for cases involving
their loved ones ever being solved. Additionally, he has appeared on several
local, national and international television programs answering questions about
murder, providing insight, commentary and analysis with respect to all aspects
of death-related investigations, as well as polygraph-related issues.
Lt.
Andreu has written an article entitled “Serial Killers, A Homicide Detective’s
Take,” which was published in the most recent Journal of the American Polygraph
Association and which will be again featured in the current issue of “Police
Technology Magazine”. This nearly 6000-word article outlines the inner thoughts,
mindset and actions of serial killers through the eyes of one of the nation’s
most experienced homicide sleuths.
