DOUGLAS W. OWSLEY has identified remains from news-making crime scenes (including Jeffery Dahmer's first victim), mass disasters (such as the Waco Branch Davidian compound), and war zones like the 9/11 Pentagon plane crash site and the war dead from the former Yugoslavia. He has also worked on the remains of 17th-century colonists, Civil War soldiers, and ancient Americans. Owsley was instrumental in advocating for the right of scientists to analyze the 9,300-year-old Kennewick Man skeleton discovered along the Columbia River in Washington State. Without his intervention and subsequent analysis, the important information provided by the Kennewick Man remains would more than likely have been lost to science.
