Amelia Earhart's Forensics Explanatory Speech Outline

Explanatory Speech Outline
Introduction
Attention getter: Amelia Earhart: American hero and one of this nation’s most puzzling mysteries. You all know the story of how on July 19, 1937 the iconic first female aviator disappeared into the Pacific during her flight around the globe. Well, according to an article covered by Science Daily on March 7th, professor Richard Jantz of the University of Tennessee used his forensic anthropologic expertise to match skeletal remains found in the South Pacific to Amelia Earhart.
Background and audience relevance: It was all thanks to the advancements in modern forensic anthropology that he was able to digitally analyze the bones and compare them with Earhart’s clothing and full body pictures of her. Forensic

Passalacqua, as previously mentioned is one of the founding fathers of professional forensic anthropology and has a high position at the Central Identification Laboratory, and Rainwater was a Chief Medical Examiner of the New York City office. The body was found by some scavengers in rural northern California. There were three antemortem, meaning long before death has occured, fractures on the right tibia and right hand. At least two perimortem, meaning at or near the time of death, fatal, lateral blunt force impacts were found on the skull. The first is a faint linear fracture on the right temporal bone, right above where the ear would be. The second fracture is significantly larger, most likely the finishing blow; it intersects with the first, travelling from the sagittal suture to the squamosal suture, from the squamosal suture to the cranial base, from the base to the ear canal, and from the ear canal to the left squamosal suture. The right side of the face also has signs of trauma at the right eye socket, nose, back teeth, and cheek areas. In the thorax, right ribs 6-9 had buckle and spiral

Conclusion
Restate thesis: As you have learned today, modern innovations and ways of thinking have helped to advance forensic anthropology and trauma analysis.
Review main points: We talked about the history of forensic anthropology and trauma analysis, and then I shared with you a case study involving the latter.
Memorable closer: So when it’s revealed that Tupac’s skeleton isn’t really Tupac and he’s been alive this whole time, remember to thank forensic anthropology for always improving and getting
