Have only read the first few pages of this thread so this may have been addressed but I was hoping that our own Joypath might weigh on what she knows to be current protocol on the autopsy of skeletonized remains.
Also, as I said, coming in later to thread, so may have missed this, but Joypath, if you see this, what is the significance of the location of the matter (on one side) of the cranial cavity that was not tested? All that showed me was that the head was on its side as it decomposed *if* that was decomp and not dirt, unless I missed something else. Little Caylee's skull was found more upright IIRC but we know that animals scattered the body and we also had a huge tropical storm. I am a resident of central Florida, and was here during the winds and heavy rains of Faye...it was worse then many hurricanes I have been through.
Yoohooooooo........*sends out bat signal for Joypath!*
