When he\'s not at a notorious disaster, Doug Owsley is entering tombs and crypts, unwrapping mummies, or climbing into caves to unlock the secrets of bones.In No Bone Unturned, investigative journalist Jeff Benedict not only unveils a compelling portrait of the man behind America\'s most notorious cases but also gives us a fascinating look inside the world of forensic science as seen through the eyes of a leading specialist.Doug Owsley\'s extraordinary talent has put his phone number on speed dial for federal agencies, from the FBI to the CIA and the State Department. When the Branch Davidian compound in Waco caught fire, when a terrorist-flown plane crashed into the Pentagon, and when mass graves were uncovered in Croatia, the authorities called Owsley. Through cutting-edge science, instinctive artistry, and dogged tenacity, Owsley painstakingly rebuilds the skeleton, and helps identify it and determine the cause of death.A curator for the Smithsonian\'s Museum of Natural History, Doug Owsley has handled over ten thousand human skeletons, more than anyone else in America. He has worked with America\'s historic skeletons, from, colonial Jamestown burials to Plains Indians to Civil War soldiers to skeletons tens of thousands of years old.That includes the Kennewick Man, a 9,600-year-old human skeleton found in shallow water along the banks of Washington State\'s Columbia River. It was a skeleton that would turn Owsley\'s life upside down.Days before Owsley was scheduled to begin studying the skeleton, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers seized it and announced they would repatriate Kennewick Man, burying his bones on the land of the Native American tribes who claimed him. Along with seven of America\'s leading scientists, Owsley sued the U.S. government over custody. At stake was a wide body of knowledge about our past and our history that would be lost forever if the bones were reburied. For six years, Owsley fought a legal and political battle that put everything at risk, jeopardizing his career and his reputation.

Silent Witness
takes readers behind the scenes on real crime cases requiring the skills and expertise of a forensic anthropologist. It describes the techniques they use, how they locate a body and uncover evidence, and how the unique characteristics of each body bear silent witness to age, sex and cause of death as well as clues leading to who or what was responsible.Following a foreword and case study by world-renowned forensic anthropologist Cyril Wecht, the book opens with a review of the science of forensics--how bones talk. Eight chapters organize 350 color photographs and illustrations to focus on such topics as the history of forensic anthropology what bones tell us types of interment and exhumation body decomposition, facial reconstruction air disasters fires and explosives and massacres.The book uses 32 real-life case studies to illustrate the techniques used. They include the notorious (Ernesto Che Guevara, Jeffrey Dahmer) the tragic and explosive (American Airlines Flight 191, the Hinton Rail Collision) the horrific (dirty wars, genocide) and the wretched (bank robber and circus exhibit Elmer McCurdy).Since it was first published,
