Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!

The skull (no mandible) is believed to be that of a male adult, probably White, age greater than 18 years, but no more than 60. The skull had been buried for some time in highly-mineralized dark earth. The face is described as â€œprominent,â€ particularly the nose structure. There are numerous dental modifications, with a gold third molar and a Caribelliâ€™s cusp to the upper left first molar. Identity may only be established with dental X-rays (on file and see attached), head X-rays, and DNA (refer to CODIS #BK-07-000910). Possible comparison with "smiling photographs" or "talking video" (showing teeth).
Date Found: 1972-02-12
