安吉拉-盖洛普教授是一名法医科学家，她曾帮助解决英国近代史上一些最臭名昭著的暴力犯罪，包括斯蒂芬-劳伦斯、达米洛拉-泰勒和瑞秋-尼克尔的被杀事件。

在完成了植物学学位和关于海蛞蝓生物化学的博士学位后，安吉拉于1974年加入了内政部的法医学服务，四年后，她参加了她的第一个犯罪现场，18岁的海伦-雷特卡被约克郡开膛手彼得-苏克利夫杀害。

1992年，她调查了意大利银行家罗伯托-卡尔维的死亡案件。他被发现吊死在伦敦布莱克弗里尔桥下的脚手架上，被怀疑是在十年前自杀的。安吉拉的工作确定了自杀的可能性不大，而且很可能他是被谋杀的。他的凶手从未被发现。

1999年，安吉拉和她的团队调查了1988年在卡迪夫的公寓中被杀害的林内特-怀特（Lynette White）的谋杀案。五名男子因她的死亡而被审判，其中三人--被称为 "卡迪夫三人组"--被送入监狱，尽管两年后他们的定罪被上诉法院撤销。安吉拉的调查创造了历史，凶手通过其家族的DNA被确认并被定罪。

安吉拉于1995年--在斯蒂芬-劳伦斯被谋杀两年后--首次参与了斯蒂芬-劳伦斯案件的调查，并于2006年再次参与调查。在这次调查中发现的法医证据帮助在2012年将杀害他的人定罪。

安吉拉是Axiom International的首席执行官，该公司为世界各地的执法机构提供法医建议。她还写了一本关于她的法医生涯的书，以及另一本概述该学科今天面临的挑战的书。




Professor Angela Gallop is a forensic scientist who has helped solve some of the most notorious violent crimes in recent British history including the killings of Stephen Lawrence, Damilola Taylor and Rachel Nickell.

After completing a degree in botany and a doctorate on the biochemistry of sea slugs, Angela joined the Home Office’s Forensic Science Service in 1974, and four years later attended her first crime scene, where 18-year-old Helen Rytka was killed by Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper.

Over the years cold cases became her speciality and in 1992 she investigated the death of the Italian banker Roberto Calvi. He was found hanging from scaffolding under Blackfriars Bridge, London, in a suspected suicide ten years before. Angela’s work established that suicide was unlikely and that, in all probability, he’d been murdered. His killers were never found.

In 1999 Angela and her team investigated the murder of Lynette White who was killed in her flat in Cardiff in 1988. Five men had been tried for her death and three - known as the ‘the Cardiff Three’ - were sent to prison although their convictions were quashed by the Court of Appeal two years later. Angela’s investigation made history when the murderer was identified and convicted through his familial DNA.

Angela first worked on the Stephen Lawrence case in 1995 – two years after his murder - and returned to it in 2006. The forensic evidence that was found during this investigation helped to convict his killers in 2012.

Angela is chief executive of Axiom International which provides forensic advice to law enforcement agencies around the world. She has also written a book about her career in forensics and another which outlines the challenges the discipline faces today.
