This guy is not a forensic entomologist...why do they have him testifying as to bug activity? Goff probably agreed with the other bug guys.

Are you able to listen to the testimony?

Yes, apparently Goff works with anthropologists in tandem.

"Forensic anthropologists appear to have a considerable range of skills for assisting in death investigations."


Perhaps true, but this guy didn't *see* the actual body. I'm sure he saw the bugs. Seeing the body would be much more helpful for an anthropologist.

dry winds, solar radiation, lack of moisture and lack of bacteria can contribute to mummification

So now we have Danielle's hands, feet (or foot) and part of her face mummified. (lack of moisture)

The man who waters the golf course near by testified that there was frosted greens (moisture)on Feb. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11.

So it appears Danielle couldn't have been in that location in order to mummify before 13-16 because the moisture would have made her rot instead of mummify.

the site has changed tremendously?? Some of the main aspects of the scene was still there ...the location is directly off the road which can affect temps --pavement CAN reflect heat..

He's not a bugologist...but is an anthropologist...on bugs/incests...

You are a little mixed up. An Anthropologist is the study of bones. This man is an Anthropologist but he got interested in bugs so has studied somewhat as a sideline. HE IS NOT AN EXPERT IN BUGS.
