Breaking Down The Body

How forensic anthropologists bring death to life on a farm in Central Texas.

Deep in the heart of Central Texas is a farm unlike any other. Instead of growing produce or wrangling livestock, this ranch is filled with human remains. Hundreds of bodies have landed at the Freeman Ranch at Texas State University for the past decade, all in an effort to help researchers understand more about decomposition.
