This is a cranium purged from an ME's cold case collection and given to an anthropologist in 1992. Upon retirement, the anthropologist returned the cranium to the county of origin, which was Charleston County. There are no law enforcement or autopsy reports. The anthropologist noted that, based on the condition of the cranium, the time since death was probably 5+ years. Although they appear to be identical, this case is not a duplicate of NamUs UP¦ 9589 (1992A00001).
