N2  - A young woman was found at the bottom of a cliff in Sydney, Australia, in June 1995. The site was a popular suicide spot, and the police assumed she had killed herself. But last November the woman's boyfriend was convicted of murder. It took 10 years to figure out that the woman was thrown off the cliff; she did not jump," says Rod Cross, a physicist at the University of Sydney who served as a consultant for the case. It took that long, he adds, mainly because the police did not understand that physics could help solve the problem. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
