Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) Archaeologist Dr. George Schwarz was joined by more than 45 volunteers from nearly a dozen organizations wading through dense vegetation and sifting through Florida sand Feb. 18-20 in the hopes of finding more clues to a Navy aircraft crash that happened more than seven decades ago. Osteen resident Rodney Thomas uncovered what appeared to be a part from an aircraft more than three years ago when he was experimenting with a new metal detector on his property. After finding dozens of pieces, he decided he wanted to learn about what might have led to the crash, and perhaps the identity of the pilot. He contacted Scott Storz, a volunteer at the DeLand Naval Air Station Museum (DNASM), in search of help understanding what he was finding. One small, two-inch square, slightly crumpled piece of metal gave the first significant clue with a clearly visible engraving: SBD-5. Best known for their superior performance in sinking four Japanese …show more content…
If anything had been discovered, then the state medical examiner would have been brought in to evaluate the remains. NHHC archaeologists, armed with more data, will continue to work with the DLNASM, which retained the majority of the parts on loan for their historical value to their community. "We will input GPS data, analyze the artifacts to get a sense of what is present at the site and see if we can find patterns, such as a concentration of cockpit materials. We will also catalogue the artifacts and write a report on the findings," said Schwarz. While three days does not seem like much time, it did give archaeologists an excellent opportunity to work with the local community to assess the site and decide if additional time would be necessary for a longer, more intensive
The incidence of cancer is higher in Black Americans, both men and women, than non-Hispanic Whites. Men are more likely to have lung, pancreatic and stomach cancer. They are more likely to die from prostate cancer. Black African American women are 36% more likely to die from breast cancer.
While investigations were going on to determine how victims died, there was a discovery of fibers on the victims’ bodies. The goal of the investigator was to determine if any fibers in Wayne Williams home or person matched those fibers found on the victims. Williams denied killing
Apart from the clues given they still had one more mystery to solve and it was who the boy was. Investigators still wanted to continue with the case so they kept the boy in a morgue. Many people from 10 different stated came to look at the boy to see if he was a missing family member. Unfortunately, nobody claimed him. Foot prints and fingerprints of the boy were taken and compared to hospital records but nothing was found. 400,000 flyers of the boy were sent out and even the AMA sent out a description but nothing came through. The fact that there is no proof that the boy even existed led to many theories of who
Forensic scientists can identify the body through dental records, DNA samples or if the fingers are intact, fingerprints.
In the poem Heritage by Linda Hogan, Hogan uses the tone of the speaker to demonstrate the shame and hatred she has toward her family, but also the desire for her family’s original heritage. The speaker describes each family member and how they represent their heritage. When describing each member, the speaker’s tone changes based on how she feels about them. The reader can identify the tone by Hogan’s word choices and the positive and negative outlooks on each member of the family.
Semen samples collected were reanalyzed. Police now had a DNA profile of the killer but they did not have a profile of a known individual to compare it to. They ran the DNA through the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) but it returned no hits, so the only thing they can conclude was that the killer was not a convicted offender.
Cogswell left the scene with the body, at 11:45 a.m., on March 19, 2005 from
You most likely wouldn't be able to get that much info regarding victims that decomposed down to just bones.
The Heritage Assessment Tool can be adopted as a dependable tool to gauge, health maintenance, restoration and safeguard of personal, cultural beliefs. The adoption of health assessment tool helps meet the prerequisites of diverse patient populations to offer quality all-inclusive care. The following paper reviews the assessment of three culturally dissimilar families, and demonstrate how a nurse would continue with health promotion centred on the variances in health traditions between the three cultures. The three cultures include Hispanic culture, Native American Indian culture and White American culture. The objectives of this essay are
This method may have been sufficient in the 10th century when people were illiterate and believed the world was flat; however, the scientific world since then has grown exponentially. Science is a powerful study, aiding us in understanding the complex process life and the absence of life, death. Pathology, the science of disease, has assisted in the arrests of countless criminals, uncovering the truth and more notably providing a sense of closure for the loved ones of the deceased. A coroner system without the foundation of science is a system that keeps murders on the streets, the innocent behinds bars and prosecutors frozen in cases. The most memorable example of inefficiency is Dr. Paul McGarry, who made careless errors in not just one but four autopsies. In the case of new prison inmate Cayne Miceli, McGarry initially determined the cause of death to be a drug overdose. Upon the further examination, a second examiner found a heap of mucus in her lungs indicating she had severe asthma. The doctor then concluded the real cause of death was the jail restraints on her chest blocked her airways during an asthma attack (Thompson, 2011, para 13-16). A peculiar fact about the case was the McGarry concluded the cause of death before he got the test results. Could he had been trying to hide something? After all, he is an elected official which according to the NAS
Another group of archaeologists working about 50 miles west of Roanoke Island at the head of Albemarle Sound say that they have pottery and metal artifacts likely associated with the Lost Colony. The digs by the First Colony Foundation were sparked by the 2012 discovery of a patch concealing the image of a fort on a map painted by John White.But like the finds at Hatteras, the objects might be associated with the second wave of English settlement.Last fall, a dig by the National Park Service at Fort Raleigh on Roanoke Island thought to be the site of the original settlement yielded no trace of the colonists. Earlier in 2016, archaeologists found a handful of fragments of an apothecary jar that almost certainly date from the 16th century. The gold Kendall ring is likely a cheap brass trade item won’t derail the quest to find out what took place on the Outer Banks more than four centuries ago. As for Ewen, he hopes that the analysis of the ring will help put researchers back on track in their search for scarce clues to the Roanoke settlers. Ewen said,“Science actually does work,” “if you give it time.”GPR is a technology employed by archaeologists to visualize and map possible objects below ground. It sends radio waves into the ground and measures the echo from the signal that bounces off buried objects. On the other hand , GPR has been used to identify coffins since the coffins contain voids with poorer conductive
“No child had such an oversized balloon shaped head. It didn’t even look human, although it had human like features” (18). This is a description of an extraterrestrial from the Roswell incident in the book The Day After Roswell written by Col. Philip J. Corso (Ret.) with WIlliam J. Birnes. This book is quite the interesting read to say the least. Extraterrestrials, flying saucers, and “foreign technology” are some of the complications in Corso’s autobiography during his time in military intelligence working at The Pentagon. Corso describes everything between the events of a flying saucer crash that occurred in Roswell, NM. on July 4, 1947 to the modern day technology that the United States has managed to reverse engineer due to the crash.
Nearly 30 years later, in 1978, Stanton Friedman was prompted to revisit the crash. Stanton Friedman was an unemployed scientist, and a part-time UFO lecturer. On February 12, 1978 Friedman interviewed a man over the phone who said he handled the wreckage of a crashed spaceship, but the man, Major Jesse Marcel, couldn’t remember the month or even the year of the event. Marcel expressed that he believed the military had covered up the recovery of an alien spacecraft. Approximately one year later, William Moore, a colleague of Friedman, found newspaper clippings of the even that Marcel referred to. The research that Friedman and Moore uncovered has made the Roswell crash the most celebrated case in the literature of UFOs. In February of 1980, the National Inquirer ran the interview of Marcel and Friedman bringing in national and worldwide attention
He also stated that they were thin like foil, would not burn or bend, and had unknown characters on them in two different colors. While the investigation was developing, Glenn Dennis, a mortician working at Ballard Funeral Home, received calls from the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) morgue. It was stated that the mortuary officer at the RAAF was trying to get small sealed coffins and wanted to know how to preserves bodies that were exposed to weather. Dennis would then drive to the hospital, where he had stated he saw strange pieces of wreckage and one inside an ambulance. As he entered the hospital to talk to a nurse that he knew, he was threatened by military police to leave. The nurse that he was meeting with told him of the bodies and drew them on a notepad. Within a few days the nurse was transferred to England, where her whereabouts are still unknown. On July 8, the RAAF public information officer Walter Haut made a press release that stated that a flying disk was recovered at the crash site. Many people who had tried to go near the crash site were ushered out of the area. The government had been involved with the situation as soon as they were actually briefed on what had happened at Roswell.
In an attempt to find the lost flight, a Martin Mariner PBM-5 flying boat was sent to search for the mission squadron. The flying boat left Fort Lauderdale Airport at 7:27 p.m. (Cusack, 16). At 7:30 p.m. the plane's radio failed, and flight disappeared forever.
