Imagine that you are at a crime scene. You find skeletal remains, but the skeleton is not complete as some of the smaller bones are missing. The bones are within a twenty feet radius. Based on this information, what would you be able to ascertain about the time of death and the individual who was killed?
While this information would be able to discern the individual that was killed (DNA), the time of death would depend on other factors as well as the skeletal remains.
