Skeletal Remains
Dr. Barbara Weakly-Jones and Donna
Whitley Co., Kentucky

This was skeletal remains found in a wooded area of Whitley County, KY on June 5, 2001. The person had been missing for a month and last seen at the suspects house. He eventually admitted to dumping the body in a wooded dump site area near the house. We were called by the State Forensic Anthropologists who was contacted by the local police dept.

The original dump site was identified with adipocere, hair, upper false teeth and one foot. The rest was scattered over a large area. It was difficult to get Donna to move off one site to another. She seemed to follow the trail that the body was dragged through and was much more inerested in the more meaty parts. We believe that this case was scavanged by a bear rather than dogs or smaller animals.

It has been such a great joy to learn this type of work and to meet such wonderful people along the way. You have been wonderful to me and I really appreciate all your help especially in getting Donna dog and helping me train her. I started out with absolutely no knowledge of what to do or what I was getting into. Donna has been a challenge but we seem to work well as a team and she is my best bud.
