You know I've covered a lot of investigations 15 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: where the victim of a violent crime remains unidentified. A 16 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: John Doe, a Jane Doe, a baby Doe. Did you 17 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: know in the US alone, there are nearly forty thousand 18 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: open cases where investigators are unable to identify the victim. 19 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: Can you even imagine someone you love deeply going missing 20 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: and you never see or hear from them again. You're 21 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: left wondering what happened to them? Are they alive, are 22 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: they dead? Have they started a new life, do they 23 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: just not care about you enough to even let you 24 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: know they're alive? And then the awful specter that they 25 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: are in fact dead and have met with foul play. 26 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: Without identification, there can really be no justice for the 27 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: victims families, and these cases often go unsolved because with 28 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: every crime, you start with who is the victim now? 29 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: In Oxygen's new special to Jane Doe Murders, Yolanda McClary, 30 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: a renowned forensic specialist and a former Las Vegas crime 31 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: investigator who specializes in recovery of DNA, makes it her 32 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: mission to help give Jane Doe their names back. Using 33 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: groundbreaking new forensic technology DNA databases, Yolanda and her team 34 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: of genealogists set out to help local law enforcements solve 35 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: a twenty three year old murder and reveal the identity 36 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: of a woman left for dead in the remote woods 37 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: of Polk County, Oregon. They've got nothing but bones, but 38 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: Yolanda works feverishly to piece together what happened to Jane 39 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: Doe and hopefully somehow uncovered clues that will help open 40 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: new roads in the case. Joining me right now is 41 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,839 Speaker 1: our friend, forensic specialist death investigator Joseph Scott Morgan Joe, 42 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: I know I'm watching the Jane Doe murders. Hey, listen 43 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: to this trailer, Joe Scott, that came out on this 44 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: clarry and here sat this skull all by itself for 45 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,839 Speaker 1: twenty three years. We haven't been able to figure out 46 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: who this lady is. Looky, she was unfound. How do 47 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: you start an investigation when that's the biggest roadblock. These 48 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: victims and their families deserve answers. They lost their lives, 49 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,839 Speaker 1: not their names. This kind of investigative work is very 50 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: different than just genealogy. We have no clue who this 51 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: person is. We looked at birth records, marriage records, employment records, 52 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: so it has to be the daughter of one of 53 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: those remaining siblings. Her family needs to know what happened 54 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: to her because without her name, her killer's name remains unknown. 55 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: She was someone's mother, daughter, or a sister. To be 56 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: able to give them back their name, please everything to me. 57 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: The Jane Doe Murders A one night special event Sunday, 58 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: January third and seven only an oxygenal Crime FO seven. 59 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: You know you're hearing from our friends at Oxygen and 60 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: they're upcoming to our special The Jane Doe Murders A 61 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: premiers Sunday, January three at seven pm Eastern end Pacific. 62 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: Let's go to Joseph Scott, Morgan, Professor forensics, Jacksonville State University, 63 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon. Joe Scott, 64 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: I will never forget the Jane Doe murderer. I prosecuted, 65 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: and her face still haunts me. The guy we believe 66 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: is a serial killer, and I had to have a 67 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: facial reconstructionist work on what she would have looked like 68 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: in life. Now she was only partially skeletonized, there was 69 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: part of her left to work with. But in this 70 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: p County case, I mean, they've got nothing but bones. 71 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: Joe Scott, Yeah, and that makes it particularly difficult. Nancy. 72 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: You know some of the things that we look for 73 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: in a regular investigation, where you know we have someone 74 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: that is recently deceased, you're completely absent this in this context. 75 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: You don't have a fleshly body before you don't have 76 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: somebody that you can actually look at and say, yeah, 77 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: this person fits into this particular group. They they're wearing 78 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,559 Speaker 1: these types of clothes, I have this hair color, eye color, 79 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: that's sort of You're absent all of that and the 80 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: only thing you're like, wait a minute, right there. I 81 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: just want to put that theory that you're correctly of 82 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: course stating, Joe Scott, to reality. Here's a way to 83 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: bring it home. For instance, when Lacy Peterson's body was found, 84 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: they try to determine what she wearing the same thing 85 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: she had worn the night before. I believe Scott Peterson 86 00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: got his haircut and Lacy had been with him, and 87 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: they were trying to figure out did the clothes matchup. 88 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: That's important to a timeline because it can help place 89 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: had she gone home, had she put on her pj's 90 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: before she was killed? Was she wearing something different the 91 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: next day to walk the dog Mackenzie in the park. 92 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: But without clothes or idea or anything. That's just what 93 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: you're saying. It makes it so much more difficult, Joe Scott. Yes, 94 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: it does. And you know the first thing you think 95 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: about when you find a body, particularly of what appears 96 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: to be a young woman and they're nude. The first 97 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: thing you're thinking about is very sinister things Like you 98 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: mentioned serial killers bodies, they're completely stripped of clothing. Maybe 99 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: they've taken them as trophies, or maybe animals have walked 100 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: off with a clothing or maybe a minute, hold your 101 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: horses when you say they took them as trophies, break 102 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: it down, man, Come on, not everybody's investigated thousands of 103 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: death scenes like you when you say trophies. For instance, 104 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,799 Speaker 1: I remember a case where the killer try to keep 105 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: the driver's license of every victim. Hello, the cops found it. 106 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: Who else would have all those driver's license except the killer? 107 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: He kept it like trophy. He's like, what are you doing? 108 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: You know we were talking about clothing. Take it? Did 109 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: the killer? Of course, it's a man take any trophies. 110 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: And I'm not a man hater. Okay, So you've got 111 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,679 Speaker 1: Joe Scott right here. I love him, I love my husband. 112 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: Point is, statistically, we know it's a man, and not 113 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: only that, but the m O, the modus operandi, method 114 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: of operation, the way her body was left. But we 115 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: don't know any of those details, Joe Scott, because oh 116 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: we've got our bones. Yeah, And you know, Nancy, for 117 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: me working a lot of these cases like this over 118 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,679 Speaker 1: the course of my career, one of the biggest pieces 119 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: of information that you have coming out of this is 120 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: where they are found. Who had access to this particular area. 121 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: Is it immediately adjacent to a roadway or did they 122 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: go deep, deep, deep into the woods to discard the body? 123 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: So that is a big first step that you have 124 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: to take with this case. And one of the things 125 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: that I was taught early on in my career was 126 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: you have to be able to explain the reason why 127 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: someone has been left to die and decay for this 128 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: long period of time. How is this person not popping 129 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: up on the radar? How are people not outscouring the woods? 130 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: How are people not engaged with actively trying to find 131 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: this person? And that is one of the biggest mysteries 132 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: of all. And I'm just thinking about on the Jink 133 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: Dope murder I prosecuted and how difficult it was, and 134 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: that hurt face as I know it through reconstruction, still 135 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: haunts me. What can you learn from just the bones? 136 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: Isn't it true Joe Scott that you can tell the 137 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: sex general theory about the age, ethnicity. For instance, you 138 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,719 Speaker 1: can tell if the person is a white female, a 139 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: Hispanic female. I think you can tell if it's an 140 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: Asian female, a black female. I'm not quite sure how 141 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: they do that, but I understand that you can. Is 142 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: it based on the teeth or the pelvic bones? Well, yeah, 143 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: for sex for instance, you can. Actually it's the pelvic 144 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: girdle that you know. Folks at home will just think 145 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: about the width of their pelvis itself. And traditionally with women, 146 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: you know, when we look at the pelvis, the pelvis 147 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: is wider. It has to accommodate a birth canal in 148 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: order to facilitate the birth of a child. Men tend 149 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: to be more narrow. But you know, Nancy, there's something 150 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: else that was always more striking to me when I 151 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: looked at a skeleton. You can tell all of those 152 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: kind of general generalities with the body. But what's really 153 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: fascinating is actually you can tell about their level of healthcare. 154 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: You can tell about their age, how much bone wear 155 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: is there, there are arthritic changes, you know in the joints, 156 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: that sort of thing. Is there actually bone loss that 157 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: you get with osteoporosis many times? How about their teeth. 158 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: Do you know, Nancy, that we can actually look on 159 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: the We can actually look at the teeth and determine 160 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: what side of an individual's mouth they favored while chewing. 161 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: You know, I tell my students at Jacksonville State that 162 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: take your tongue running around your teeth, the area where 163 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: your teeth are actually the least sharp or the more dull, 164 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: that's your dependent side of chewing. That's the things that 165 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: we look at. And there's those little passing things. Isn't 166 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: it that we notice about those in our immediate circle. 167 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: Somebody might have said at some point in Tom, what 168 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: side of your mouth do you chew on? Or wow? 169 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: You always ever asked me that? Ever, that's all right now, 170 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: And I'd like to point out that I was carefully 171 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: watching Jackie as you said that, and she absolutely was 172 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: figuring out which side of the mouth. Okay, you're right side? Cheets? Right? 173 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: Thank you? Okay, Now, so back what with finding nothing 174 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: but bones determining cod cause of death much less man 175 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: or death, It's going to be very difficult there unless 176 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: you can see a broken bone or a nick on 177 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: a bone from a knife, or you find a bullet nearby, 178 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: or you find a bone that has suffered a gunshot wound. 179 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: Other than that, with Jane Doe totally skeletonized, you're not 180 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: going to find cod No, you're not. And this is why, Nancy, 181 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: because commonly in traditional deaths, where we have bodies that 182 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: are fully intact, we have what is remaining. We refer 183 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: to it as soft tissue, and you can see things 184 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: like hemorrhage. You can appreciate gunshot wounds or knife wounds, 185 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 1: or maybe some other trauma, blunt force trauma, for instance, 186 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: with bruising and hemorrhage, you can even age those injuries, 187 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: but not with a skeleton. You know. One of the 188 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: biggest things that we look for, for instance, are the skulls. 189 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: If you're fortunate enough to find a skull, many times 190 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: you just find bones just lying about. But if you 191 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: do have a skull, you can look for things we 192 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: call holes in skulls defects. So you're looking at, for instance, 193 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: an entrance wound for a gunshot wound, or maybe an 194 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: exit wound. You're looking for a depressed skull fracture, or 195 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: maybe the face has been pounded in. You'll see those 196 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: fine facial bones that have been fractured. Those types of 197 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: things are indicators. And of course, like you mentioned, if 198 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: you're fortunate enough to find like a rib bone, maybe 199 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: a knife has passed through and you can look for 200 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: a tool mark on that, a scratch, a nick, or 201 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: maybe even a group or in the case of where 202 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: you have a dismemberment, you can actually find dismemberment marks 203 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: left behind by saws and those sorts of things. I'm 204 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: just thinking about the emotional tool it has taken on 205 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: this woman's family. For all I know she had children. 206 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: And of course you can tell a lot about the 207 00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: person by the length of their leg bones or their armbones. 208 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: When you try to extract DNA, how long can you 209 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: get DNA let's just say from teeth or I mean, 210 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: when you think about it, there's not always teeth in 211 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: a skull or from a bone, right, let's just say 212 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: your leg bone or your hip bone. How long can 213 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: you still get DNA from your bones? I'm glad you 214 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: brought this up. This is the fabulous word picture I 215 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: came up with to help my students at Jacksonville State 216 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: think of. Think of a longbone, like a leg bone, 217 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: which is where we would generally harvest, say, for instance, 218 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: mtochondrial DNA out of the bone if it's still viable. 219 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: Think of that bone as a leather briefcase, all right, 220 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 1: And a leather briefcases seem kind of sturdy, don't they. 221 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: It's going to contain that information for a while, but 222 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: leather in and of itself will wear down after a while. 223 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 1: But if we think about the teeth, Nancy, we think 224 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 1: about the teeth, think about the teeth as a titanium briefcase. 225 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: It holds onto things longer and better because teeth are 226 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: in fact not bone, they are something else. They are 227 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: this really strong composite. And so if we can get 228 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: into the tooth, if we can get to the pulp, 229 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: we can extract DNA from there. But again, like you said, 230 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: with skulls laying on the out in the woods, many 231 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: times to get knocked around by animals or just over 232 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: a period of time, teeth fall out of those sockets. 233 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: You have to be very careful of the scene. If 234 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: you can in fact recover to sometimes that can be 235 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: a DNA gold mine. Wow, DNA can even be extracted 236 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: from ancient bones and teeth specimens. It's very very difficult process. 237 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: The extraction of DNA but there's so much more to 238 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: identifying someone and just trying to get DNA. And I'm 239 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: not really sure how many bones were found in Jane. 240 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: Now I know there's a skull, what does it tell you? 241 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: Joe Scott tells me a lot that her skull was 242 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: found in the woods, but easily, easily you know, identifiable. 243 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: It wasn't buried, it was right there on the surface. 244 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: That tells me a lot about the killer. Unless it's 245 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: there because of animal activity. Yeah, it could be as 246 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: a result of animal activity, if there are no surrounding bones. 247 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, Dogs in particular love skulls. I've found. 248 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: I've had countless cases, Nancy, where dogs will literally walk 249 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: up into just some citizens yard with a skull. Can 250 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: you imagine how horrifying that is? And I'll have terrified 251 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: people that used to call it the medical examiner at 252 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: the coroner's office and say, oh my god, we've got 253 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: a we've got a skull here, you know, and you 254 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: go out there and dogs, you know, dogs are simple creatures. 255 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: They it's like playing with the ball. They see this 256 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: kind of spherical logic. They like to play with it, 257 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: carry around and so but let me tell you something else, Nancy, 258 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: that's kind of sinister about this. And I actually work 259 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: as series of serial killings that were kind of go 260 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: to this point. In this particular case, we had a 261 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: guy that would never bury bodies. He loved though, to 262 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: pose bodies. He loved to have them exposed and take 263 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: these women and just kind of lay them out. And 264 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: so they're not necessarily going to the trouble taking the 265 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: time to dig the hole because they want people to 266 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: be shocked by finding these remains. Now, that does tell 267 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: us a lot. It can also say if you find 268 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: a body just on the surface, for instance, that they 269 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: were rushed, they wanted to just dump the body and 270 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: get as much distance between them and the deceased. Or 271 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: in certain cases you'll have people that maybe you are 272 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: injured and they just kind of, you know, sadly, just 273 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: walk off into a desolate area and fall down in 274 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: one location and they succumb at that point in time. 275 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: So you have to you have to weigh off. I 276 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: don't think Jane, they wandered out into the woods and 277 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: had a heart attack. If that's where you're going, Oh, 278 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 1: I'm not. However, as you know, and we've covered so 279 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: many cases together, there are those times when people are injured, 280 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: maybe they've escaped, maybe they've escaped a killer and they 281 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: were so horribly injured, disoriented, or maybe they died as 282 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: a result of the elements after they had been abandoned 283 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: by somebody they escaped. They just tried to get to 284 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: a point to be saved, and it just so happens 285 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: the next person that finds them is some hunter walking 286 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 1: through the woods that might just see a skeleton laying 287 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: on the ground. It's a very sad circumstance. I just 288 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: hate it for this family out there somewhere that never 289 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: knew what happened to their daughter. Guys, we are talking 290 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: about a so called Jane Doe. Don't miss it.
