In this Sept. 15, 2016 photo, Dr. Erin Kimmerle, left, examines the remains of a 1985 female murder victim after the body was exhumed from a unmarked grave in Tampa, Fla. Kimmerle can spend the time on this and 49 other cases thanks to a $385,000 grant from the National Institute of Justice to review unsolved and unidentified-person deaths. Most are in Florida, but some are from Pennsylvania and Wisconsin; because Kimmerle’s considered one of the country’s best forensic anthropologists, her lab often takes cases from states with fewer resources.
