"In the chapters that follow, you'll see how things we've learned at the Body Farm have helped us identify the dead, figure out what happened to them, and in many cases (though, sadly not all) bring killers to justice." I found this book even more fascinating than I did Death's Acre: Inside the Legendary Forensic Lab the Body Farm Where the Dead Do Tell Tales, and I didn't think that would be possible! It was compelling to read how much more sophisticated tools and techniques have become since Dr. Bass first created his body farm. I found the section regarding the Big Bopper being exhumed (when his casket was being moved to a different section of the cemetery) very interesting. Who would have guessed we'd ever know exactly what his injuries were - and which ones were fatal, after all of this time? I highly recommend both books!
