Mdecicco's Death's Acre Essay

The book Death’s Acre by Dr. Bill Bass is about the life story of him and his job. The book is co-written also by Jon Jefferson. Dr. Bill Bass is the head of the famous forensic research center. He starts off the book by telling the readers about cases that he had helped solved. With every case he solves it differently. He helps out law enforcement by identifying who the bones belong to and how that person died. Dr. Bass gave the readers very descriptive details about his cases. What I found interesting was that with some bones he could find out the height of the person and the race of the person. One case that I liked was in the beginning of the book when Dr. Bass was brought on to the Lindbergh case. This case was about a child of a famous pilot that was kidnapped and murdered. As the case was sent to dr. bass he was able to identify the body with the smallest bones that were left over from the original case that was opened seventy years ago and was able to find out the murderer.
