26. A Fortunate Expert
Realizing that they did not have the expertise for such a bizarre case, the Queens police called in a forensics expert. Luckily for the police, they were able to reach forensic archaeologist Scott Warnasch who specializes in old burial practices. Warnasch was the perfect expert for the case, as he recognized the type and age of the metal immediately and was able to confirm that this woman had been buried in an iron coffin at least 150 years ago. If not for his expertise, the iron may have stumped police for far longer.
