Missing Person Observation

Bones that were taken from the body at the crime scene went under much analysis in order to determine the gender, race, height, and age of the missing person that was retrieved. The first part of data was retrieved in order to determine the gender of the missing person. The pelvic bone was analyzed first. The first measurement made was for the degree of the Sub-Pubic angle and gave forth the measurement of 84 degrees. This test, however, was redone and the final determination of the angle is found to be 92 degrees. This piece of information helps to conclude that the body found is of the male gender. The next measurement taken was the Pubis Body width. The first test conducted on this measurement concluded with the width being 28 millimeters. …show more content…
The first qualitative test conducted was on the upper edge of the eye orbit. The first time this observation took place, the results were that the edge was blunt. There was another observation done on the same part of the skull and the final determination of the shape of the upper edge of the eye is that it has a sharp edge. This qualitative observation points to the skull being from a female. The next observational test was conducted on the actual shape of the eye orbit. Two analytical observations was executed and both of them resulted with the conclusion that the eye orbit is of a square shape. Unlike the previous observation of the upper edge of the eye orbit, the results that the shape of the eye orbit being square show that there is a possibility that the skull belongs to a male person. After this observation took place, the zygomatic process was analyzed. The first evaluation of the zygomatic process determined that is was expressed beyond the external auditory meatus. There was another evaluation that took place, however, and the final conclusion of the zygomatic process is that it is not expressed beyond the external auditory meatus. This final conclusion points towards the skull being from a female. The next qualitative test conducted was on the Nuchal Crest which is also known as the Occipital bone. The analysis of this bone concluded that it is rough and bumpy. This result …show more content…
The first trait of the femur that was measured was the vertical diameter of the femoral head. The first test resulted in the measurement of the diameter being 48.5 millimeters. Another conduction of this test took place, however, and revealed the final vertical diameter of the femoral head to be 41 millimeters. Since the diameter result is less than 43.5 millimeters, the results conclude the femur being from a female. The next measurement that was taken was on the bicondylar for the width. The first measurement found was 81 millimeters. The second measurement that was taken became the final concluded measurement of 69.3 millimeters. This final concluded measurement being under 74 millimeters points towards the femur belonging to a female figure. The final part of the femur that was measured was the maximum length of the femur. The first calculation noted was 390 millimeters. A second measurement took place and found the final maximum length of the femur which is 385 millimeters. Since the final maximum length is below 405 millimeters, the conclusion made by the measurement found is that the femur belongs to a female. All in all, the measurements found all point towards the femur belonging to a female. The last salvaged bone from the body that was tested was the humerus. The first aspect of the humerus that was measured was the transverse diameter of the
