Rogue Mermaid Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I just found this article and it cracked me up........... Murder victim 'died 500 years ago' French police have worked out why they couldn't identify a murder victim - she was killed by pirates 500 years ago. Frustrated detectives had been trying to identify the woman, said to have been in her 30s, for two years without success. Her skeleton was found in December 2003 during an exceptionally low tide near the Brittany seaside town of Plouezoc'h. Police reckoned a 14 cm gash to the skull suggested she had been bludgeoned to death with a hatchet or other sharp object. Missing persons' files were consulted and DNA tests carried out to establish if the skeleton was that of a Normandy doctor who disappeared in 1999. All proved negative. The mystery was solved only after radio carbon dating of the bones suggested the woman had died some time between 1401 and 1453. François Gerthosser of the local police said the case was now closed. "We are satisfied because at least we know the date now. We think it was pirates," he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syera Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I wonder if it was really that unobvious without carbon testing or whether these particular detectives were rather inept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
