Name: ___________________________ Video Worksheet: The Firs t 48 Hrs: Desert Bones/Party’s Over This video shows how the first 48 hours of an investigation are critical. Two cases that were investigated by the Phoenix police department are shown. The first one, Desert Bones, is relevant for forensic anthropology, and has Dr. Laura Fulginiti (the forensic anthropologist for Maricopa County) brought in as a consultant. The second one is not relevant for forensic anthropology. All the questions you must answer relate only to Desert Bones . 1. What evidence, seen in the skull of the decedent, suggests this was a person who had a lot of money? 2. What piece of evidence (that is NOT skeletal) found in the desert suggests the decedent was the victim of a crime? 3. What two types of survey techniques are used to look for evidence out in the desert around the skull that was first seen by the police officer? Explain. 4. What evidence does Dr. Fulgi see on the skull that indicates the decedent was murdered? 5. What does the evidence found in the insulated cooler indicate about the crime? 6. Dr. Fulgi is the first to remember about a police case from a few months ago that might be relevant to the remains found in the desert. What does she remember? 7. What crucial information does the detective need to obta in from the missing woman’s family that can help them identify the remains found in the desert?

8. What does the forensic odontologist contribute to the investigation? 9. What x-ray evidence is used to definitively establish the identity of the remains found in the desert? 10. Are the police able to prosecute anyone for this case? Why/why not?
