The Angel of Death Case Study

On May 24, 1943, the death camp at Auschwitz, Poland, welcomed a new member. He was Josef Mengele, a 32-year-old doctor who came to be known as The Angel of Death. Later, he became the chief operator of the concentration camp at Auschwitz.

He was a German anthropologist and physician who, since 1937, was associated with the SS, and on the orders of Adolf Hitler, he gained the position of chief doctor in the extermination camps set around Germany. He used to decide the fate of the incoming prisoners. He awarded them either torturous labor or immediate extermination.

As he was in a hurry to advance his medical career, his level of atrocities reached new heights. In lieu of medical treatment, he injected several thousand inmates with substances like petrol, chloroform, etc. to study their chemical effects. He also plucked out the eyes of corpses to study eye pigmentation, along with the dreadful study of twins.

He fled to Latin America by the end of WWII, honestly spent his life as an immigrant, and kept changing his location. His residential details were a mystery, as was his death. In 1979, he died as a result of drowning on a beach in Brazil. He was buried with his name changed to hide his identity.

His corpse was unearthed in 1985. However, due to his decomposition, it was difficult to recognize him. In this case, forensic dentistry came into play, and dental records confirmed his identity.


Ted Bundy Case Study

Ted Bundy is a well-known serial killer. He killed approximately 30 people or more. However, the physical evidence that could prove his crimes was scarce when he was arrested in 1975.

After two years of being convicted for kidnapping, during the time when he was set to face a stand trial for murder in Colorado, he fled to Florida.

In early 1978, he killed three more people there, and he was finally caught in February of the same year. However, this time there was enough physical evidence present that led to his conviction.

Out of all the evidence, the key evidence was a bite mark on the buttocks of victim Lisa Levy. Dental identification confirmed Bundy’s distinctive, crooked, and chipped teeth.

He also got convicted for murdering 12-year-old Kimberly Leach on the basis of fibers found in his van that matched the victim’s clothing. In 1989, Ted Bundy was put to death.
