And the dentist has identified THIS...


Her tooth. WHAAAAAAAAAAT?

Not only could he identify who it belonged to, but the dentist could also determine how it was extracted. The mother was also adept into knowing what sort of underwear her daughter was wearing, and that the strand of hair was also her daughters.

How it was extracted and the underwear - that I can see, to be honest. That's probable, at least. I think you can, more or less, determine how it was extracted going by the marks on the teeth (although with little precision by all means).
But the strand of hair is yet one another unbelievable aspect. They didn't have the DNA tests back in 1970, did they?

Come to think of it, it would be obvious that the chief would have speculated that the tooth was extracted by pliers. How else would he have gotten them out?

reply

Well, another popular way of teeth "extraction" is beating a victim with a blunt object in the mouth region. BUT the tooth was SO clean and intact, that it was obvious to any layman it was extracted with a special instrument.

Through dental records, I guess? The speed and timing of it all does seem kinda crazy.
