His expertise in footwear and tyres has led him to testify in several high profile murder trials, speak at conferences, and consult with mystery writers – in addition to writing his own book, Footwear: The Missed Evidence. As an expert in casting materials, he consented to test NuCAST’s claims. Says Hilderbrand,
“I recommend this product as a fast, easy to use and useful method of casting.The material was easy to use and fast. I have personally worked and assisted in the design of many casting materials presently on the market, but this product impresses me under normal conditions.”
