Wanted—Butch and Sundance
|
|
|
|
Program Overview
|
|
|
In this program a scientist applies his particular expertise to
track down two notorious outlaws nearly 100 years after they are
thought to have died. Clyde Snow, a leading forensic anthropologist,
has been hunting for the remains of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance
Kid.
Snow's investigation involves separating scientific fact from the
legend of these famous outlaws. His search involves collecting
historic documents, measuring skeletal remains, evaluating data with
computer imaging processes, and DNA analysis. Many of the methods
featured in this program were developed by Snow and his colleagues
for identifying the victims of accidents and crimes, and for solving
present-day mysteries.
