Mary Huffman Manhein is an American forensic anthropologist. Nicknamed The Bone Lady, she was the founding director of the Forensic Anthropology and Computer Enhancement Services (FACES) laboratory at Louisiana State University (LSU) in 1990, and of the Louisiana Repository for Unidentified and Missing Persons Information Program in 2006. [2] The repository is considered the "most comprehensive statewide database of its kind". [3]

Contents

In addition to teaching at LSU, Manhein has worked with law enforcement agencies at local, regional and national levels, [4] consulting on over 1000 cases involving missing or unidentified persons. [5] She is a member of the national Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team (DMORT) [6] and a fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. [7] [8] She has been invited to lecture at New Scotland Yard. [9]

As well as academic publications, Manhein has written the non-fiction books The Bone Lady (2000), Trail of Bones (2005), and Bone Remains (2013), and two novels.

Education

Manhein entered Louisiana State University (LSU) as an English student in 1976 [4] and took a class in anthropology as a senior. [6] She graduated with a degree in English literature in 1981. [5] Manhein began volunteering in Douglas W. Owsley's laboratory in the Department of Geography and Anthropology, and earned a master's degree in forensic anthropology from LSU. After Owsley moved to the Smithsonian Institution, Manhein continued to work and teach at LSU, [10] becoming a "Professional in Residence" at LSU’s Department of Geography and Anthropology. [11] [6]

Career

By 1987, Manhein was leading the LSU laboratory for geography and anthropology. [12] She introduced facial reconstruction and imaging to the anthropology program. [6] The Forensic Anthropology and Computer Enhancement Services (FACES) Laboratory was officially formed at LSU in 1990, with Manhein as founding director. [2] Manhein became Deputy Coroner for the East Baton Rouge Parish in 1993. [11] She is certified as an Expert Witness in the Field of Forensic Anthropology, accredited to work in Texas and Louisiana. [11]

Manhein has spent decades visiting police departments, sheriff's offices and coroners throughout the state of Louisiana to gather information about missing people and unidentified remains. [5] She developed an extensive database with this information, [13] and created datasets for identification of North American White, Black and Hispanic peoples. [14] [15] She has established standards for facial tissue depth in the creation of three-dimensional facial reconstructions. [2]

In 2006, Manhein worked with then State Senator Jay Dardenne and State Representative Daniel R. Martiny to initiate a bill in the Louisiana Legislature which led to the creation of the Louisiana Repository for Unidentified and Missing Persons Information Program. Manhein became the director of the repository. [6] [2] [16] [17] The Louisiana legislature also mandated that all unidentified human bones be sent to LSU for identification. [6] One police investigator has commented that before, "unidentified bones usually ended up in a box". [6] : 73  The database of missing people in Louisiana is an examplar for other states and has been used to solve both current and cold cases involving missing and unidentified persons. [16] [18] [19] [20] [21]

The FACES lab examines skeletal remains for indicators of age, height, race, cause of death and the amount of time since death. Such remains may have been decomposed, skeletonized, or burned before being found and sent to the lab. [3] [21] [22] In some cases the FACES team can quickly determine whether remains reported to them are human or animal based on photographs and measurements of bones. [21] From bones and x-rays, the lab can construct clay models and computer renderings of a person's possible appearance. DNA samples can be taken from bones and teeth if no soft tissue remains. [3] [21] [22] DNA profiles, often prepared by the Louisiana State Police Crime Laboratory, are shared with the national Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) database. [2] [6] The laboratory is also affiliated with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the National Unidentified Persons System and the Doe Network. [6]

Manhein has worked on a number of historical projects including war burials at Port Hudson Confederate Cemetery [2] and analysis of skeletal remains from St. Peter Street Cemetery, New Orleans' oldest formal cemetery. [23] [24]

Other historical identifications include two sailors from the wreck of the USS Monitor , which sank in 1862. Their facial reconstructions were unveiled on the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Hampton Roads, at the United States Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C., and are now in the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries’ Monitor collection. [25] [26] [27] [28]

Possibly the oldest skeleton Manhein has examined was the 2,300 year old “Princess of Thebes” mummy from the Ancient Egypt Gallery of the Louisiana Art and Science Museum in Baton Rouge. [10] Among other things, Manhein determined that the mummy was that of a young man, who had likely died after a fall or other accident. [29]

Manhein is a member of the national Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team (DMORT) for Region VI. [6] Manhein has worked with industrial disasters such as the Shell Oil refinery explosion in Norco, Louisiana on May 5, 1988, where she was called in to identify the remains of five employees. [6] She was involved in the recovery and identification of astronauts' remains after the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003. [11] She has led the FACES team in cemetery recovery work, identifying and returning lost bodies after hurricanes Isaac (2012), Katrina (2005) [30] and Ike (2008) [6] dislodged tombs and burial caskets. [30] [31] [32]

Manhein has frequently appeared on television in connection with her work, on programs such as America’s Most Wanted , Discovery Health, New Detectives, Missing, and CSNBC and MSNBC news. [11] She was interviewed for a 2016 episode of America's Most Wanted as a result of a 2003 attempt to identify "Pontchartrain Jane", whose body was found on June 19, 1986. Manhein was able to rule out one possible identification based on dental evidence, and created a facial reconstruction. [33] [34] Based on her examination, some of the information recorded about the body was revised, which may yet help to identify "The Lady in the Lake". [33]

Manhein has served as thesis advisor or co-adviser for about 60 master’s students in anthropology and 20 master's students in natural science. [2] She received Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Awards at lSU in 2006 and 2007. [11] Her students and colleagues include facial recognition specialist Eileen Barrow and Manhein's successor as director at LSU, Ginesse Listi. [6] [12] Manhein retired from LSU in 2015. [4] [2]

Publications

Manhein has published extensively in her field, including both academic papers [35] and the laboratory workbook Introduction to Clay Facial Reconstruction (1996). [36] [37] In addition to her academic publications, Manhein is the author of three non-fiction books about her work, The Bone Lady, (2000) Trail of Bones, (2005) and Bone Remains (2013). [5] She has also published a novel, Floating Souls: The Canal Murders (2012), set in New Orleans; [9] and a young adult novel, Claire Carter: The Mystery of the Bones in the Drainpipe, which is illustrated by Leah Wood Jewett. [38] [10] [39]

As well, Manhein has worked with Jessica H. Schexnayder to document conditions in cemeteries throughout Louisiana, many of which are threatened by coastal erosion, storm surges, and sea level rise due to climate change. They have co-authored Fragile grounds: Louisiana's Endangered Cemeteries (2017). [40] [41]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Forensic anthropology</span> Application of the science of anthropology in a legal setting

Forensic anthropology is the application of the anatomical science of anthropology and its various subfields, including forensic archaeology and forensic taphonomy, in a legal setting. A forensic anthropologist can assist in the identification of deceased individuals whose remains are decomposed, burned, mutilated or otherwise unrecognizable, as might happen in a plane crash. Forensic anthropologists are also instrumental in the investigation and documentation of genocide and mass graves. Along with forensic pathologists, forensic dentists, and homicide investigators, forensic anthropologists commonly testify in court as expert witnesses. Using physical markers present on a skeleton, a forensic anthropologist can potentially determine a person's age, sex, stature, and race. In addition to identifying physical characteristics of the individual, forensic anthropologists can use skeletal abnormalities to potentially determine cause of death, past trauma such as broken bones or medical procedures, as well as diseases such as bone cancer.

Osteology is the scientific study of bones, practised by osteologists. A subdiscipline of anatomy, anthropology, and paleontology, osteology is the detailed study of the structure of bones, skeletal elements, teeth, microbone morphology, function, disease, pathology, the process of ossification, and the resistance and hardness of bones (biophysics).

A body farm is a research facility where decomposition of humans and other animals can be studied in a variety of settings. The initial facility was conceived by anthropologist William M. Bass in 1981 at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee, where Bass was interested in studying the decomposition of a human corpse from the time of death to the time of decay. The aim was to gain a better understanding of the decomposition process, permitting the development of techniques for extracting information such as the timing and circumstances of death from human remains. Body farm research is of particular interest in forensic anthropology and related disciplines, and has applications in the fields of law enforcement and forensic science. By placing the bodies outside to face the elements, researchers are able to get a better understanding of the decomposition process.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Forensic facial reconstruction</span> Recreating faces from skeletal remains

Forensic facial reconstruction is the process of recreating the face of an individual from their skeletal remains through an amalgamation of artistry, anthropology, osteology, and anatomy. It is easily the most subjective—as well as one of the most controversial—techniques in the field of forensic anthropology. Despite this controversy, facial reconstruction has proved successful frequently enough that research and methodological developments continue to be advanced.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Skeletonization</span> Remains of an organism after soft tissues have broken down after death

Skeletonization is the state of a dead organism after undergoing decomposition. Skeletonization refers to the final stage of decomposition, during which the last vestiges of the soft tissues of a corpse or carcass have decayed or dried to the point that the skeleton is exposed. By the end of the skeletonization process, all soft tissue will have been eliminated, leaving only disarticulated bones.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Unidentified decedent</span> Term used to describe a corpse of a person whose identity cannot be established

Unidentified decedent or unidentified person is a term in American English used to describe a corpse of a person whose identity cannot be established by police and medical examiners. In many cases, it is several years before the identities of some UIDs are found, while in some cases, they are never identified. A UID may remain unidentified due to lack of evidence as well as absence of personal identification such as a driver's license. Where the remains have deteriorated or been mutilated to the point that the body is not easily recognized, a UID's face may be reconstructed to show what they had looked like before death. UIDs are often referred to by the placeholder names "John Doe" or "Jane Doe".

Betty Patricia Gatliff was an American pioneer in the field of forensic art and forensic facial reconstruction.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Murder of Elizabeth Roberts</span> Murder victim unidentified for 43 years

Elizabeth "Lisa" Ann Roberts, otherwise known as Precious Jane Doe, was an American homicide victim found near Everett, Washington on August 14, 1977, who was an unidentified decedent for 43 years until being identified on June 16, 2020. She had been picked up by a male driver while hitchhiking and killed after refusing sex. Her assailant had strangled her with a cord and then emptied his gun into her head, complicating identification. Roberts was a teen runaway who left her Oregon home in July 1977, less than a month before her murder. She was given the nickname "Precious Jane Doe" by Detective Jim Scharf, who began investigating the case in 2008. The detective was quoted as saying, "This young girl was precious to me because her moral decision from her proper upbringing cost her her life [...] I knew she had to be precious to her family too, so I had to find them. We needed to give her name back to her and return her remains to her family." Roberts was 17 at the time of her murder, though initial police estimations of her age were much older. Her body was found by blackberry pickers, and the medical examiner determined she had been dead for approximately 5 days before discovery. She was discovered fully clothed in a pastel tank top and denim cutoffs. As her identity remained unknown, Roberts' case was relegated as a cold case. In 2020, genetic testing via hair samples was used to locate her biological family, who led to her adoptive family.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Murder of Linda Pagano</span> Formerly unidentified murder victim

Linda Marie Pagano, formerly known as Strongsville Jane Doe, was an American murder victim from Akron, Ohio who was an unidentified decedent for 44 years. Following an argument with her stepfather on September 1, 1974, Pagano left her stepfather's apartment and was never seen again. On February 5, 1975, partial skeletal remains of a white female were found by three boys in a park in Strongsville, Ohio. After remaining unidentified, the bones were buried in an unmarked grave. Due to a clerical error, the bones were never entered into databases of unidentified decedents, and the case was largely forgotten about. In 2016, a college student doing genealogy research of her own family rediscovered the unidentified body. After posting about it online, the case gained the attention of Carl Koppelman, a forensic sketch artist. The new attention to the case led to a connection being made by the Akron police, and in June 2018 the remains were conclusively identified as Linda Pagano.
