The Kamloops Courthouse Burials: The Identification of Three Historic Murderers from Kamloops, British Columbia

Pages 55-60 | Published online: 22 Nov 2013
 

ABSTRACT

The problems of establishing identity of historically significant skeletonized human remains are compounded by incomplete written and photographic records, and through lack of standardized methods of recording and storing data. Identities were established for three executed criminals, whose remains were accidentally disinterred in Kamloops, British Columbia, through combining data from archival research with that obtained through forensic anthropology analyses.

RÉSUMÉ

Les problèmes rencontrés dans l'établissement de l'identité des restes squelettiques humains à caractère historique significatif sont exaggérés par des records écrits et photographiques incomplets ainsi que par le manque de méthodes standardisées pour la collection et l'entreposage des données. L'identité de trois criminels executés dont les restes ont été désenterrés accidentellement à Kamloops, en Colombie britannique, a été établie en combinant des données de recherche des archives avec des données obtenues par analyse anthropologique médico-légale.
