Moi! [Hi!]
Well, it is not so easy to find news about forensic anthropology, so this is of September 29, 2010, and it’s about a woman, Mrs. Parker of 41-years-old, dispatcher vanished in 2007, and her remain were found along a river bank in Chattoonga Caounty last week before this news was published.
Forensic anthologist working on this case is Thersigni-Tarrant, and she was recognizing different trauma before and after the time of the death, as a fracture in her arm when she was young or trauma that occurs at the time of death. And also damaged that occurred after death.
Accord to the exam of Thersigni-Tarrant, the skull was fairly intact, but the rest of the remains were very fragmented and with a very white coloration, that means a long exposure to sun and the opposite side of the bone was discolored which means that was in dirt for a period of tme.
Forensic anthropologist will not able to determine cause of death, it means for blunt, sharp, burn trauma, but she can tell about manner of death, in this case, homicide.
But the GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigation) is still working on its analysis of remains of Mrs. Parker, so investigators hopes to have a complete report of the case.
Parker’s husband is a former police officer who was convicted of her murder.
And when GBI has finished its examinations and analysis, it will release the bones to Parker’s family for burial.
This is a work of forensic sciences, specially forensic anthropologist, because is who can examine and recognize bones and its trauma.

It's pretty cool how the forensic anthropology can help to solve crimes that happened in the past, from months to thousands of years ago!! and most important, how you can use science to bring peace to the families of the victims... that is priceless.
