Case History: 2731-94 was recovered in the Narragansett Bay, by the Newport Bridge, Newport, RI by the fishing vessel 'Norma Jean'. 2867-94 was recovered in Fall River, Massachusetts. There is very little possibility that these bones came from separate people therefore they are identified by forensic anthropologist as being from the same individual.
