Episode notes

The case rose and fell on the bite marks. Ted bundy, who later admitted that he'd killed the two women, along with 28 others, was convicted and sentenced to death. Was the first nationally televise criminal trial in our nation's history. And there was no physical evidence here. There were no other eye witnesses. There was no fingerprints. They didn't even have hair microspase.

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.”
