ME/C Case Number 10-02192
Male, Black / African American
Date Body Found December 27, 2010
Location Found Kansas City, Missouri
Estimated Age Range 50 Years
Circumstances of Recovery -
THE CASE WAS EXAMINED BY A FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGIST AND DETERMINED NOT TO BE A FORENSIC CASE. IT LIKELY WAS FROM AN "ANATOMICAL STUDY COLLECTION". THE CHIEF MEDICAL EXAMINER ADVISES NO DEATH CERTIFICATE WILL BE ISSUED DUE TO THE SPECIMEN AS LIKELY COMING FROM AN ANATOMICAL COLLECTION. THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE DISCOVERY ARE THE FOLLOWING: AN UNKNOWN CRANIUM LOCATED IN THE ATTIC OF THE INCIDENT ADDRESS BY THE WITNESS. THE DECEDENT AND HIS WIFE MOVED INTO THE DUPLEX MAY 25, 2010. THE SECOND-FLOOR, SOUTHWEST BEDROOM HAS ATTIC ACCESS THROUGH A PANEL IN THE CLOSET CEILING. SHORTLY AFTER TAKING POSSESSION OF THE HOUSE, THE WITNESS NOTICED A PIECE OF FABRIC FROM THE ATTIC PANEL, AND PULLED IT DOWN. THE FABRIC TURNED OUT TO BE A PAIR OF BLACK CARHART OVERALLS. ON THE INCIDENT DATE, THE WITNESS ACCESSED THE ATTIC USING A STEP LADDER, WITH THE INTENTION OF CLEANING IT OUT. HE LOCATED SEVERAL BOXES OF HIGH SCHOOL MEMORABILIA BELONGING TO A JOEY OR JOSEPH EGGEN, RAYTOWN HIGH 1997-98. AFTER MOVING THE BOXES, THE DECEDENT NOTED THE SKULL SITTING ON A BOARD RUNNING CROSSWISE ACROSS THE RAFTERS. HE CONTACTED HIS FATHER, WHO IS A CHIROPRACTOR, TO LOOK; HIS FATHER VERIFIED HE BELIEVED IT WAS HUMAN. HE CALLED 911; KCPD RESPONDED. UPON RECEIVING THIS CALL, I CONTACTED INV. HENSLEY; HE MET ME AT THE INCIDENT ADDRESS. INV. HENSLEY ACCESSED THE ATTIC THROUGH THE CEILING PANEL, AND LOCATED THE SKULL IN ITS INITIAL POSITION, AS DESCRIBED BY THE WITNESS. THE ATTIC FLOOR APPEARED TO BE BLOWN INSULATION, WHILE THE VERTICAL SURFACES HAD ROLLED INSULATION. THE SKULL WAS SITTING ON ITS INFERIOR SURFACE ON A BOARD BRIDGING TWO RAFTERS. SEVERAL COBWEBS WERE NOTED. NO OTHER BONES OR BONE FRAGMENTS WERE LOCATED ON SCENE. THE LEFT ZYGOMATIC ARCH WAS BROKEN AND ABSENT. TWO PARALLEL GOUGES WERE OBSERVED TO THE LEFT LATERAL FRONTAL AREA. A FRACTURE OR SEPARATION OF THE SUTURE WAS ALSO OBSERVED ON THE LEFT LATERAL SIDE. THE SKULL WAS PLACED IN A BROWN PAPER BAG, AND TRANSPORTED TO THE MEO FOR EXAM.
