Special Agent Dana Scully Case: 2X13/Irresistible Hair and fibers, slivers of glass, plastic, even insect casings, can serve to recreate the circumstances under which death occurred. It may be an irony only understood by those of us who conduct these examinations, that death, like life itself, is a drama with a beginning, middle, and end. It is my opinion, having conducted this examination, that the victim died a wrongful death with the express purpose of extracting her hair and fingernails. The time of death cannot be accurately determined, due to what I believe must have been immersion in a cold environment, most likely water. For the record, it is also my opinion that outside of child homicide, which may be more tragic and heinous, this is one of the most angry and dehumanizing murders imaginable.
