An unknown decomposed victim was found. Initially, the only antemortem dental evidence to be found was a CT scan of the neck of a missing person. The posterior teeth on the right side of the victim did show in the CT scan, although the teeth were poorly defined.

Postmortem combination periapical/bitewing x-rays were taken and compared to the teeth on the CT scan. The result of the comparison was considered "consistent with" and not a positive identification.

At a later time, antemortem bitewing x-rays were found and compared to the postmortem combination periapical/bitewing x-rays. The result of this examination yielded a "positive" identification.
