Episode notes

Keith harward was charged with capital murder and sentenced to life in prison. Five forensic dentists agreed that keith had likely left the bite marks, even two who had previously ruled out keith harward's teeth as potential matches. In 19 85, the virginia supreme court overturned his conviction on a technicality and granted him a new trial. Keith says he feels sorry for everyone who thinks the streets are rid of a killer.

In 1982, forensic dentists examined the teeth of thousands of sailors stationed on an aircraft carrier called the USS Carl Vinson in Newport News, Virginia. It’s been called “the largest dental dragnet likely in U.S. history.”
