Judging by
the size of the bones and the number of tooth sockets (8 adult teeth/alveolar
processes) per quadrant, the above is part of adult remains. It might be either
Herman Hartono or his son Adi. We can observe two mandibular third molars here
and an acute angle of the mandible. Since 3rd molars erupt around
the age of 17-25, we can assume the son was at least 17 years of age. Round and
large orbits also indicate the above belongs to a male victim.
The teeth
above are definitely from an adult dentition. They are the 1st, 2nd
and 3rd molars.
The third
molar is the smallest of the three. The second molar is smaller than the first
one and has 5 cusps. The first molar is the largest posterior tooth and has 4
cusps.
The angle of
the above mandible indicates a male victim.
The last
piece of evidence shows a child’s mandible. It is not clear enough whether the
canine is deciduous or permanent. However as Anya Suriati was 9 years old, we could
assume it is a permanent canine as the latter erupts around that age. We assume
it is Anya Suriati’s as she was the only missing child filed.
An intriguing
fact here is that Anya was only reported missing 4 months ago and yet her body
has been fully decomposed. As discussed in the previous parts, decomposition
depends on various factors.
For example, the
temperature, humidity, insects and soil acidity can all speed up decomposition.
