This is a purged medical examiner case from South Carolina.  The ME gave it to an anthropologist in 1992.  Upon retirement, the anthropologist gave it to the county of origin, which was Chaleston County.  We do not have any law enforcement or autopsy information or the anthropological report, so we therefore do not know when the ME originally got the case, date or year of death, or the original condition to estimate postmortem interval.
