You are involved in a missing person investigation. The missing person was last seen on a large piece of heavily wooded property. Once the search warrant has been served to the home/property owner, a discovery was made by a fellow detective of possible human remains.

After reviewing your text (current and past chapters):

How would you determine if the remains are human/animal?

How would you determine the manner and cause of death? (this is where I allow you to be creative)

How would you determine if you have a natural death or a felonious act?

What pieces of trace and physical evidence are you searching for and where are you looking?
