One case is especially personal for Nelson.

Before becoming a forensic investigator, she was an emergency medical technician and volunteer diver for the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office. In June 2007, she helped recover a man’s body from the river just east of the Washington Street Bridge.

The man was badly decomposed, making fingerprints unobtainable. There was only one tooth left in his mouth. There were no tattoos on the remnants of his skin. He had multiple facial fractures and two titanium plates on his jaw from a previous surgery.

Forensic experts think he was about 40 years old, 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 6 inches tall, and between 130 to 180 pounds. He appears to be of mixed race.

The anthropology exam indicates possibly Caucasian with possible African (Black) mixture. By Anthropology exam an estimated age of 33-55 years with an age emphasis toward age 40. The autopsy indicates an age range of 33-42 but not over age 50. The scalp hair is suggestive of African American or possible mixed race. The anthropology exam suggests that the jaw, nose, and left orbital ridge trauma probably occurred during a single traumatic injury. The body could weigh 120-150 pounds and could be slightly taller than the measured height of 64.5 inches. This man would have had obvious facial deformities secondary to a traumatic injury or injuries.

Came across this guy today, Kinah Anderson from Wisconsin.

Missing since July 2006.

Positives - listed as 5'3 to 5'4, has a noticeable scar in the exact right spot, his nose is angled the same way & seems to have quite an underbite.

Negatives being, he is only listed as missing two teeth, a metal plate in his jaw is not mentioned & the circumstances are a bit confusing.

Worth submitting?

Found in the Spokane River just east of the Washington Street Bridge in the City of Spokane.

Adult male. Possibly of mixed race. This male was approximately 5 feet 3 inches - 5 feet 6 inches in height. The body was in an advanced stage of decomposition. The body weight is estimated to have been 130-180 pounds. There were no visible tattoos noted on the skin but some skin surfaces were missing due to advanced decomposition. Fingerprints were unobtainable. At the time that the body was recovered this man had only one remaining tooth. He may have had teeth lost after death. This man had sustained a traumatic jaw fracture that had been surgically repaired. There were two metal plates over the healing jaw fracture which was in the lower right jaw. (His own right side). These plates have been determined to be "Walter Lorenz" titanium plates. The jaw fracture could have occurred several years prior to the death. There was a previous nose fracture as well as a fracture to the left eyebrow ridge. This man would have had a scar in his left eyebrow area after the injury. It is possible that the jaw, nose, and eyebrow ridge fracture occurred in a single traumatic incident.
