CASES OF HOMICIDE SOLVED BY UNUSUAL PHYSICAL FEATURES LEADING TO THE IDENTIFICATION OF EACH OF THE DECEASED AND TO THE ARREST AND CONVICTION OF THEIR KILLERS.

Abstract

POSITIVE IDENTIFICATIONS WERE MADE BY MEANS OF THE OBSERVATION OF A BILATERAL BUNIONECTOMY, AN EXAMINATION OF SOME UNEARTHED BONES, AND THE SUCCESSFUL MATCHING OF A PAIR OF CONTACT LENSES WITH THEIR PRESCRIPTION.
