What can a skull tell you about a person's life?

And can their bones reveal how they died?

A forensic artist, an anthropologist, and a global positioning satellite

would tell more about this victim than anyone could ever imagine.

Yellowhouse Canyon is 200 acres of very rough terrain just outside the city limits of Lubbock, Texas.

In 1870, it's where the Comanche Indians exchanged their prisoners for horses.

125 years later, the area became known for something else.

When some hunters found what looked to be a human skull.

You treated as a crime scene, making the assumption that it is going to be a homicide.

Nearby, were bits of clothing and the woman's shoe.

Police sifted through the dirt and found some smaller bones and a strand of hair.

Forensic anthropologist Dr. Harold Gill King estimated the bones had been exposed to the elements for over a year.

One piece of bone at the bottom of the spine called the sacrum indicated the victim was female.

The shape of the sacrum in females is distinctive. It's much more flared.

It's all part of the birth difference between females giving birth and males not.

The shape of the skull suggested the victim was Caucasian and the cranial sutures were not yet closed, meaning the victim was young between 18 and 24.

The anthropologist also found evidence of knife wounds.

I think we had one to the shoulder blade, six to the vertebrae and then another four or five.

So, 12 or 13 injuries that we discovered and mapped into the cut map.

Dr. Gill King ruled the manner of death to be homicidal violence.

When word got out that a young woman had been murdered in Yellowhouse Canyon, call started to pour in.

One woman came up and said she knew her husband had done it because he was a knife freak and said, oh, by the way, we're having a custody battle tomorrow.
