Application of Forensic in Skeletal remains Investigations
Abstract
Investigators use forensic science to analyze crimes and crime scenes. Forensic science is an empirical approach to examining and analyzing physical evidence of a crime for presentation in a court of law to solve a recent mystery. The word forensic comes from a Latin phrase denoting of or before the forum. As such, investigators present all evidence and extrapolations from forensic techniques to a forum of scientists who examine the admissibility for an objective activity. The application of forensic science begun in the late 16th century when a French surgeon, working for the army, started gathering and analyzing the effects of the cause of death to the human internal organs. He concluded that it is scientifically possible to offer a tentative guess on the cause of mortality as the victim cannot present the evidence. Currently, the field has evolved to incorporate accurate methodologies such as facial reconstruction, archeology, astronomy and other independent disciplines. As a result, the contemporary forensics studies are more complex and integrated where every applicable discipline plays a role in ensuring an objective presentation of forensic facts. The purpose of this article is to examine several forensic fields and their applicability in criminal investigations. The evaluated fields include entomology, odontology, anthropology, pathology, and microbiology. In a case concept, the author seeks to explain the relevance of the different forensic techniques as well as their specific procedures and efficiency.

1. Introduction
In a winter fall, two deer hunters, Joseph, and Carl, discovered five skeletons and a decomposing body in a forest in Georgia. The hunters were the first individuals at the crime scene or secondary crime scene and alerted the police immediately. The hunters found the body in an artificial thick bush with a covered hole used as dumping site of the bodies. Besides, the remains indicated different ages, thus showing a multiple visit to the site by the criminal/s. On arrival, the local police secured the area to avoid external contamination of the evidence and called in the forensic team for further investigation. Although the case remains under the jurisdiction of the local police, who will head the investigation, forensic techniques are obligatory to provide identification data to guide the studies.
2. The necessity of Forensic techniques
As outlined in the crime scene analysis, the police only recovered skeletons and a decomposing body. Unlike a fresh crime scene, officers lack the lead to guide their investigations largely because of the time ambiguity. In a crime with a defined timeline, an investigator can draw leads from other related activities that happened before, during or after the crime. However, in a crime scene as explained in the case study, it is highly non-feasible for an officer to launch an investigation. Therefore, Komar and Buikstra (2008) argue that it is vital to apply the forensic techniques, which when actually utilized might help in solving the felony.
