The body of a wealthy American businessman was found in his rental car. The car had swerved off the road into a ravine and caught fire.

Teeth and bone fragments were all that remained of the body. Miraculously, an engraved wristwatch and medic alert bracelet had escaped the inferno and were found in the ashes.

When the victim’s wife filed a claim for $7 million of life insurance, investigators sought the help of a renowned forensic anthropologist. His findings and the work of other forensic scientists uncovered a chilling scheme of fraud and deceit.
