Found Human Bones Underwater! (Police Called)

[@DALLMYD]

Wreaths Across America (GA 0311): shorturl.at/xFJK1 (UPDATE: At first, we weren't sure if the bones we found were human. With the sun going down and the water rising, I brought the bones home that evening, treating them with respect. After some research, I got convinced they might be human bones. So, I called the police and handed over the bones, showing them exactly where I found them. The police were cool with it and thanked me. In the future, if I find something like this, I'll call the police right away. But that day, because of the risky place, rising water, and not being sure if they were human bones, I decided to take them home. Like I said, the police were okay with it and thanked me for helping.)

[@NoYouChooseAName]

No hates, you guys is greats! This was really shocking to watch…please please do not encourage anyone ever moving suspected human remains if found. You essentially conducted your own forensic investigation before calling it in. If there was any amount of flesh attached to the bones and you removed them from the initial setting they were found, took them home for a quick CSI superfan roleplay, then delivered them to the cops on a cafeteria tray…that’s a whole entire crime. No matter how respectfully you handled them. I don’t understand how this is any different. Curiosity is normal. It’s why we’re all here! And you guys are awesome at what you do. I’m just surprised and disappointed by the lack of awareness here.

For future reference- if you ever suspect you've found human remains, please leave everything where you've found it and call the police immediately. Although you have opened this case, which may lead to someones missing loved one being located- you have compromised the crime scene, and it will make it very hard for investigators to validate any evidence they find from here on. i.e any marks found on the bones could've been inflicted by your team, meaning they cannot conclude anything they find on them as the cause of death Hope this helps!

Amazing that your friend is a paleontologist. Great job. Much respect for how you handle it.

[@Smilodon1985]

Advice from an anthropology prof: when you find a piece of human skeleton, STOP LOOKING FOR MORE!!! Call law enforcement immediately! Poking around in piles of rocks and stuff is potentially interfering with a crime scene. You really didn't want to remove those remains from the scene. The marks on the bones looked a lot like rodent gnaw marks to me, but they were also packed with dirt so it was really hard to tell. They likely processed the scene where you recovered the material as a recovery site. They'll try to put everything back together as best they can.

[@Haydn-f8r]

It was cool of the coroner to talk with and directly to the camera when examing the bones to kinda give your audience a proffesional view of the video , awesome guy there man.

[@blackfishblues]

Hey Jake! As a Kathy Reichs reader, here are my totally ignorant comments: 1. The recovery site shold be preserved, but the water was rising and I guess you did the right thing. I hope a forensic anthropologist has a look at it with low tide, to check stratigraphy, fabric etc. 2. Don't want to be morbid, but the state of the skull piece and the small fragments made me suspect the body was exposed to fire. The lack of hand and feet bones and of the ribs seems to corroborate this. However in that case the vertebrae should be recognizable, so I tend to agree that it could be a dismembered body. Anyway you handled it with respect, IMO. I hope you keep us posted on this sad case. And Jake, it's great to see you out and about again after the Titan scare! I hope you and Kendall are doing well

[@b_uppy]

Think placing a marker for investigators to find is better than disturbing evidence that might float freely now that the heavier bones are removed. Think they want to use a suction system to go through later for microscopic, fragile materials.

Why do you open the jars underwater? Letting the contents flow into the waterway seems hazardous.

[@JonPonikvar]

God, the comments in here talking about "disturbing a crime scene" and calling you out for collecting the bones. Y'all need to step away from the internet for a bit. 1) The area was going to be submerged in water soon and he didn't want the bones to get washed away before he had a chance to verify if they were human or not. 2) "You should have taken pictures!" HE FILMED IT. You realized you just watched footage that he took of the entire crime scene prior to the moving/removal of any bones, right? The evidence of the scene has been preserved. He even tells the police this directly, offers to give them the footage, and they thank him for it. He did everything the way he should have. It's fine. If he had messed up, the police would have told him so, but they thanked him for everything he did. You guys really need to stop looking for a reason to hate on someone who's done nothing but good throughout his entire career.

[@gunhildrandom]

[@arcamemnon9193]

@@spongebobsqueeze Uhm no... Let's say for example a tiny microscopic piece of DNA trapped against the bone by mud has survived for the entire time the bones were stuck in the mud. Along comes a You Tuber who wants to film a more clear shot so he first handles the evidence and then washes it, thus destroying any trace DNA that may have survived. Or there are tiny bullet fragments that are still in the mud surrounding the bones (tissues rotted away but metal fragments survived trapped in the mud surrounding the bones), all now washed downstream or down his sink at home. Finally, any possible evidence that is found is now attackable in court, defense lawyers will say the kid put it there during his zealous/excessive handling of the evidence and not some criminal. Destroying the integrity of a crime scene can completely collapse the ability to solve a case, so no it is not "all good".

[@spongebobsqueeze]

@@arcamemnon9193 That sounds like a great scenario if it were possible for body parts or clothing to have been in the moving water so long there was nothing left but bones to have trapped DNA… but it is not. Your really reaching in this instance. If the choice is bring the bones you think are human or possibly be unable to locate them again, I would bring them. It is not like the police will spend time and continue looking for them if you claim to have found some you think were human and cant find them again. Unless it is a suspected crime scene related to a known crime in the area They will just give a heavy sigh, roll their eyes and think you are an idiot.

[@arcamemnon9193]

@@spongebobsqueeze Heh, being retired law enforcement I doubt I'd be castigated as you say but hey you've also got decades of experience to draw upon correct? The bones were in the mud and close together so chances are they lay where they fell and never washed away as many say here. Bodies do not degrade before sinking to the bottom in water. There is a period where gasses keep the body afloat, but eventually they sink to the bottom long before the flesh is gone. Sediments in the water column will then slowly build up around the body and eventually cover it in mud. All this occurs as the body deteriorates, but cool water temperatures slows the decomp process considerably. So yes there is a good chance DNA or other evidence can be trapped in the mud surrounding the bones, unless of course you wash it all away upon recovery.

[@unnamedchannel1237]

@ deban works you can’t recover it . Also likes of HP secure erase for SSD makes it impossible to get data off. The reason you can get data off a hard drive is the way it formats the drive it only makes it appear to be gone it’s what they call a quick format . But Dban writes 0’s to every part then back over with 1’s then back over with 0’s again. That is the basic run. You can choose as many runs as you want just takes time. Ssd’s are different essentially puts through an electric signal to erase it all at once . I was doing data recovery for a couple of years and out of interest when work was slow I tested Dban and was never able to recover the data .

[@KittyMax97]

I know you guys do this a lot, but you really need to not move things like that when you find them on land. That area becomes a crime scene and it needs to be as undisturbed as possible. Things you find in the water is already as disturbed as it gets but if stuff is spread around on land you should really not move it and definitely shouldn’t touch it with bare hands. You don’t need to collect everything for the police. If you see something like that call the police right away, crime scene investigators and forensic scientists will do that. (Even if they might be animal bones. Police will still be interested and come to check out the possible exciting situation.) now the fact that your friends are paleontologists definitely helps you not get in trouble for cleaning them, but it won’t help forensic scientists.

[@benniedonald]

At least they have video of them moving them. 😅😅

[@XannyTs]

Please take a second to understand he is not a cop, or a detective there really is no way of telling if a bone is human or animal without being experienced in Human anatomy and physiology. I also want to clarify that this could have been a murder that happened decades ago or a simple drowning accident as tragic as it is the body had fully decomposed meaning this John or Jane doe probably had not died recently and was related back to a "Cold case", you also have to take into account that dead bodies are usually stored in a Morge that is keeps them from decomposing. (Below 90° F (32° C), the process of decomposition slows considerably) Also, the average river temperature is around 5-25c which means the body if it had been held to the bottom of the river where it's the coldest could have taken a few weeks or maybe a week to decompose (Please note I'm not taking into count wildlife such as fish that could possibly have sped up that process.) So, taking to note that DALLMYD had no clue he was about to find a possible crime scene. NOTE: this crime scene was already extremely destroyed by natural elements and eroded. Instead of blaming the destruction of the crime scene fully on DALLMYD take a moment to understand that the natural elements had already eaten away at the crime scene and instead be thankful for them because if they had just dismissed the bones instead of trying to find a bone that could be human this John/Jane doe they would have forever been unnoticed and forgotten also a high chance that rising water would wash away the bones. Yes, they should have called the cops after finding part of the human skull. however instead of shaming them for taking action and possibly providing closure for a family we should acknowledge the good they did. everyone makes mistakes but it's not right that you should criticize them for it so harshly for "destroying" something that had already been destroyed. also, majority of commenters don't even realize that the police and coroner aren't really bothered by the fact that they moved the boned and saw either. Also, big fan of this coroner explaining how to professionally separate evidence. (Also please stop the disrespect full comments such as shaming him for wanting to put reefs on our fallen soldiers' graves, these men and women gave their lives so YOU can sleep peacefully in your bed at night and have the thing you have!

It might be a good idea to start carrying some markers around? Something you can drop in the water at the exact location that you find any weapons or bones at - something visible from the surface that the police can choose if they want divers to check out when they get there. Especially if there could be more - like the bones. I don't know if police can do an accurate identification on just some of the bones.

Maybe rope, cork and hooks so it is anchored down and tied to surface cork with a tiny flag or neon paint maybe? If the rope is neon too it can help.

Will you be giving any update on this situation in the future?

[@lizmbrad]

Do you have an update on this situation? Have they figured out who this person was? When this possibly took place?

[@SEHGAMINGOFFICIAL]

At 10:06 when he finds the computer what a lot of criminals do is if they have illegal stuff on it like cp or drug related stuff of it and the police are close to closing in on them is they will throw it into the water so it can’t be repaired and can’t be linked back to them

[@k8lynmae]

I can’t wait for updates on the bones case ❤️❤️

[@lily.withaY]

[@RobertsDigital]

So are the bones linked to a missing person? Have DNA tests shown anything yet? Updates?

[@m.g.l.df.749]

A great example of what not to do is after they realize they are human bones. No, some of the bones would not have washed away with water as they hadn’t before, until all the large rocks in the area were removed. Removing all those large rocks to play detective could result in any more evidence washing away. It is undetermined if those rocks were all naturally placed, or if some of them were purposefully placed as a cairn of sorts over the remains. What should have been done, especially once the piece of skull was found, was immediately call police and give the nearest location to meet, without removing anything else. Also, do not wash off the bones, scrub at that them, and then handle them over and over again to display for a video. Nor carry them in another piece of potential evidence. Do not handle anything with bare hands.

The female cop is rude for no reason 😂

[@mitchellmillar]

She annoyed me so much

[@lisaforsythe5325]

First time viewer! Really love your content. And will continue to watch everything you put out. Thanks for the entertainment

[@Mixed.aaliyahb]

Damn I been here since before you hit a million subs now ur at 13. Wow keep it up ❤

[@TylerDuysen]

hey just wanted to say ignore these comments being negative you did not disturb a crime scene there was no evidence there that a police diver wouldnt have done the same thing and just collected the bones if there was any foul play with a sharp object the police will know by looking at the bones you did everything a police diver would have done good job man you brought closure to a family and now they can move on ps if there are more bones in that area the police divers can find them

[@stigolumpy]

It's less the stuff about disturbing a crime scene, and more about the fact they essentially disturbed a grave site, pissed about with the remains for content and views before calling the police and during all that, completely ignored the fact they were dealing with a PERSON.

[@stigolumpy]

Oh and even if it's perfectly fine to dig around and pick up the bones, they could at least have used gloves all the way through. That would have been easy since they clearly always carry them.

[@TylerDuysen]

@@stigolumpy your not very smart had they called the police and waited the bones and all wouldve gone completely underwater by the time police arrived people like you have this misconception that if you call the police they show up withing no time and thats not the case cops lack of fast resonse time is a major issue

[@Thezipply]

The Coroner was a cool guy

[@DALLMYD]

I thought so as well

[@elijahray1360]

Appreciate the level of gentality and respect yall treated the bones with, I hope theyre able to be identified and a family brought to closure ❤

[@ZeCahli]

Gentality… 💀

[@kas_xiong]

jumpscare when he first jumped into the water. i was not expecting there to already be another person in the water 😭😂

[@DALLMYD]

Lol

[@thenewfoundation9822]

"We're trying to be careful...." Continue to root around in a possible crime scene like rabid badgers.

[@Davidbirdman101]

I don't know why, I love the comment section. It's like observing human nature or something. I stand back and observe the mental battle between the human beings who proffer their opinions and I try to do this objectively and without emotion. It's a great way to check the ego and have a little fun at the same time. I recommend trying this exercise and I think it will help you learn how to remain calm in everyday life. A word of caution, there will inevitably be people who try to goad you into a critical response, don't take the bait and remain detached and aloof as possible. I'm not a psychiatrist, but I play one on t.v.

[@dukearmstrong156]

Yes, Very much an anthropological opportunity. The diversity of responses in varying intensities is both interesting and disturbing. It's like watching a herd of wild goats who vote. 😐
