Case History: Email communication from private citizen: "Growing up, my parents used to take my sister and me to Ft. Lauderdale (Lauderdale-By-the-Sea was where we stayed) for winter vacations. One year, it was probably around 1959, I found a human jaw bone washed up on the beach with a single molar tooth still intact. I brought it home, showed it to my dentist to confirm that it was a human bone, and kept it in my room for some years and then lost track of it. My wife and I recently sold our home of 35 years and moved to a condo. In the process, I found a box of things from my childhood and the jaw bone was in it.

It occurred to me after watching a documentary recently about solutions to cold cases, that maybe you would have an interest in me sending this item to you. In jest, I said to my wife, 'This could be Jimmy Hoffa's jaw bone!' If there is no interest on your part, I will probably just give it a proper burial." end of email
