If John Doe's skull has enough teeth, that will help get DNA from the molars to compare with Hollingsworth, which is what I told the detectives yesterday.

I hope it does have enough teeth, though. Does the fact that they had an anthropologist examining the Doe mean anything telling, does anyone know?

I guess that an anthropologist was called in to examine the skeletal remains, to determine the sex, age, cause of death, and how long John Doe had been there. Some can recreate what the victim looked like by applying clay over the skull. They are also used in court trials.
