Garlic Sap Short Story
I thought that Garlic Sap was just going crazy when he was furiously digging up the ground. I thought that maybe it was just an animal but then I saw a piece of a bone. Maybe it's just a dog bone that he buried a couple years ago, I thought to myself. When I got a closer look at the bone I knew that it wasn’t a dog bone. It was definitely a human bone, I soon after called the police. I remember that in “Dead men talking” it talks about how after you find the bones, you have to go back to the crime scene and look through the bones and look around the crime scene. I looked through the bones and tired to find any that particularly standed out. I looked at the jaw to see if the teeth were still in tact. I saw that they were and thought …show more content…
“We should count the number of bones and try to determine the victim's age,” Billy. “From the amount of bones the victim has they seem to be around there late 20’s” saw that the bones were smooth but still a little bumpy, which meant that the person was in there 20-30. Me and my team then used the kerley method to determine his age. We then took a thin part of a bone under the microscope and counted the number of rings that it had. We saw that there were twenty-seven rings, which meant that the victim was twenty-seven. I then looked at the pelvic bone to see if it was wide or narrow. I saw that it was wide and shallow, which meant the bones were those of a female. Other bones also showed me that it was a female because of the shorter bones, rounded forehead and rounded chin. We then looked at the bones to see if they were negroid, mongoloid, or caucasoid. They had a flat backed skull, and flat bottom nose and chin bones, which meant that the victim was caucasoid. I learned all this from the article “identify the victim”. Billy and I then had to identify the victim and figure out why they were killed/ why there bones were in the park. We identified the victim as a twenty-seven year old caucasian female, who lived in Minnesota. Her name was Jenny Johnson. We then investigated and tried to figure out who killed Jenny. We later then recognized that it was her best friend that killed her. She killed her because she stole her cookie from the

    Law enforcement in Pennsylvania has put up a search for a middle-aged man suspected of the murder of a 14-year old girl and the possibility of several others. The young victim’s elbow was found by a neighboring dog as was her hat covered in saliva, which is thought to have been used as a gag. The past murders do not seem to be consistent to one age group and no other patterns have been found. The oldest known victim, Sophie Cichetti, was age 49 at death. She was murdered in her home, however she was left fully intact on a nearby creek side. The murderer is very unpredictable, but organized. He seems to move from place to place after his murders and completely conceals the evidence, which is why he has been hard to catch. Police are hopeful in their current approach now that some connections are being uncovered.…

    In the article by R.U.Steinberg, paragraph 2 tells us that the first step that forensic anthropologists take after finding the bones, is examine it and find out if it's human. Then they ask if it's an individual or more. After knoork on the biological profile of the victim which includes age, height, gender, and race. Paragraph 2 in the article says that race can be determined with antemartem pathology. After knowing the biological prifile, they establish positive identification. Dental records, hospital X-rays and DNA could be used in this method. "After that we top it off with perimotem [ time of death] pathology." Says R.U.Steinberg. This is done in order to coclude if a murder has occured. In order to find out the time of death, they look at the details of the bones and if they have any sratches or marks in them.…

    A trained forensic anthropologist can identify gender, ethnicity, age, illness, and possible careers, just by looking and touching bones (PBS, 1). They record data, put bones together, and determine possible cause of death. Forensic Anthropologists also have to spend hours in a lab, with little breaks, to make sure that their calculations are correct and precise. “The experts take notes and photographs to arrange and preserve the arrangement of the body” (PBS, 1). They organize the victim’s bones in its original shape so that studying them will be easier, this is usually a long process depending on the condition of the victim’s bones. If the condition is overall good the time to organize the bones unlike when the conditions is unrecognizable. Forensic Anthropologists take a heavy selection of science courses including: Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Physiology. So that they will be prepared when they have to determine the death cause of a victim. Another good class to take is a Law and Order class, this class will be beneficial because forensics deal with the law in plenty of cases. When forensic gather enough information they identify the victim and show it to the authorities so that the FBI can see if the victim had conflict with family members, and if they had a dispute with someone that might’ve wanted to kill…
