Garlic Sap Short Story
I thought that Garlic Sap was just going crazy when he was furiously digging up the ground. I thought that maybe it was just an animal but then I saw a piece of a bone. Maybe it's just a dog bone that he buried a couple years ago, I thought to myself. When I got a closer look at the bone I knew that it wasn’t a dog bone. It was definitely a human bone, I soon after called the police. I remember that in “Dead men talking” it talks about how after you find the bones, you have to go back to the crime scene and look through the bones and look around the crime scene. I looked through the bones and tired to find any that particularly standed out. I looked at the jaw to see if the teeth were still in tact. I saw that they were and thought …show more content…

“We should count the number of bones and try to determine the victim's age,” Billy. “From the amount of bones the victim has they seem to be around there late 20’s” saw that the bones were smooth but still a little bumpy, which meant that the person was in there 20-30. Me and my team then used the kerley method to determine his age. We then took a thin part of a bone under the microscope and counted the number of rings that it had. We saw that there were twenty-seven rings, which meant that the victim was twenty-seven. I then looked at the pelvic bone to see if it was wide or narrow. I saw that it was wide and shallow, which meant the bones were those of a female. Other bones also showed me that it was a female because of the shorter bones, rounded forehead and rounded chin. We then looked at the bones to see if they were negroid, mongoloid, or caucasoid. They had a flat backed skull, and flat bottom nose and chin bones, which meant that the victim was caucasoid. I learned all this from the article “identify the victim”. Billy and I then had to identify the victim and figure out why they were killed/ why there bones were in the park. We identified the victim as a twenty-seven year old caucasian female, who lived in Minnesota. Her name was Jenny Johnson. We then investigated and tried to figure out who killed Jenny. We later then recognized that it was her best friend that killed her. She killed her because she stole her cookie from the
