INVESTIGATORS DR. EMILY CRAIG As seen on August 21, 2001 on Unsolved Mysteries |
|
SYNOPSIS: Dr. Emily Craig heads the Medical Examiner's Office of Kentucky. As a forensic anthropologist, she examines crime scene evidence (bones, foliage, insects, soil) and pieces together the identity of the victim and what caused their death. Dr. Craig has become one of the foremost forensic anthropologists in the country. In a 1997 case, a bone was found in Boone's County, Kentucky. Using the resources of law enforcement and local students, a search was conducted which unearthed a few more bones. Dr. Craig examined the bones and determined that they belonged to a woman who was 5'3" tall and had been dead for about 36 months. The woman also suffered from back problems. Further investigation revealed that a missing person named Diane Washer, 39, matched the description. Police had focused attention on Diane's former husband as the key suspect. Ultimately, new information surfaced and a local man named Larry Freeman eventually confessed to killing Diane Washer. In another incident in September 2000, two boys were exploring a cave in Barren County and came upon skeletal remains. Once again, Dr. Craig examined the bones and nearby clothing (red jeans, sneakers, socks, shirt button and a bra). Through careful work, a tooth was also found at the site. Craig used a statewide database to determine that the victim was Nancy Marie LaBonte Daddysman, 42, who had been reported missing from Bowling Green, Kentucky on September 4, 1998. The tooth matched Daddysman's dental records. Daddysman, a divorcee whose children lived with her ex-husband, had last been seen alive as she hitchhiked to meet her boyfriend, Jack Woodbine. Woodbine is not considered a suspect. Authorities would like to find out who killed Nancy Daddysman. If you have any information about the death of Nancy Daddysman, please contact the Barren County (Kentucky) Sheriff's Department or call the Unsolved Mysteries hotline, 1-800-876-5353.
