Episode notes

Adam freeman presented his findings to other board certified forensic dentists. He says that after that long time, colleagues stopped talking to him. The same year, the texas forensic science commission recommended a moratorium on using bite mark evidence in criminal cases. But it was just a recommendation, and it's still used in cords across the country.

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.”
