Teasing Secrets from the Dead is a front-lines story of crime scene investigation at some of the most infamous sites in recent history. In this absorbing, surprising, and undeniably compelling book, forensics expert Emily Craig tells her own story of a life spent teasing secrets from the dead.Emily Craig has been a witness to history, helping to seek justice for thousands of murder victims, both famous and unknown. It’s a personal story that you won’t soon forget. Emily first became intrigued by forensics work when, as a respected medical illustrator, she was called in by the local police to create a model of a murder victim’s face. Her fascination with that case led to a dramatic midlife career change: She would go back to school to become a forensic anthropologist—and one of the most respected and best-known “bone hunters” in the nation. As a student working with the FBI in Waco, Emily helped uncover definitive proof that many of the Branch Davidians had been shot to death before the fire, including their leader, David Koresh, whose bullet-pierced skull she reconstructed with her own hands. Upon graduation, Emily landed a prestigious full-time job as forensic anthropologist for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, a state with an alarmingly high murder rate and thousands of square miles of rural backcountry, where bodies are dumped and discovered on a regular basis. But even with her work there, Emily has been regularly called to investigations across the country, including the site of the terrorist attack on the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, where a mysterious body part—a dismembered leg—was found at the scene and did not match any of the known victims. Through careful scientific analysis, Emily was able to help identify the leg’s owner, a pivotal piece of evidence that helped convict Timothy McVeigh.In September 2001, Emily received a phone call summoning her to New York City, where she directed the night-shift triage at the World Trade Center’s body identification site, collaborating with forensics experts from all over the country to collect and identify the remains of September 11 victims.From the biggest news stories of our time to stranger-than-true local mysteries, these are unforgettable stories from the case files of Emily Craig’s remarkable career.

The author, Emily Craig earned a Ph.D. in forensic physical anthropology from the University of Tennessee and became Kentucky's state forensic anthropologist. She served with the Kentucky Medical Examiner's Office until her retirement in 2010. While working on her Ph.D, she spent time on Dr. William Bass's famous Body Farm. If you've read any or all of Dr. Bass's fictional accounts of the Body Farm (co-authored with Jon Jefferson), you'll have a good idea of what "Teasing Secrets from the Dead" is about, except the yuck factor is much higher. Example:"Skull fragments and teeth often filter down into the base of the skull, the neck, or even the victim's decomposing chest cavity, and then I have to grope around to find them, feeling through dark brownish-green tissues that resemble nothing so much as chocolate pudding into which someone has stirred a few cups of chunky vomit."Even Dr. Craig is grossed out by maggots, but she's learned to live with them. There's a scene in the autopsy room, where "tens of thousands of maggots [are] boiling up out of the chest cavity like suds overflowing from a washing machine." And that isn't even the grossest part. The grossest part is when the maggots start crawling up her arm and "migrating up toward my face, with its tempting facial openings."Anyone who thinks he or she might be interested in becoming a forensic anthropologist needs to read this book.Dr. Craig applies her training to down-home Kentucky murders, but she has also been called in on national tragedies such as the Oklahoma City bombing (April 19, 1995) that killed 168 people, the deaths of the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas (April 1993), and the destruction of the Twin Towers on 9/11/2001. The amount of information she is able to 'tease' from bone fragments, teeth, and other bits of what was once a human being is truly amazing. As a writer, she has the gift of putting you right there in the autopsy room, on the muddy river bank, or down a claustrophobic mine shaft wherever remains have been found. This is a very compelling read.
