Hey, finders keepers man.

If you've been stealing skulls and other body parts from the Body Farm, the UT Police would like lend you a hand

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY EYES

"But I'm still using it!"


/hawt.

dude, if you're going to go on TV and brag about all the bones and rotting corpses laying around, you have no one to blame but yourself.

/Try figuring out where Norm Abram's workshop is now.
/They quit showing the location...

Not a good way to keep one's head on their shoulders..

it sounds like there is some skulduggery going on


Yeah, this guy sounds like a Farker. Someone go sign him up, I'm too lazy today.

I love this city.

/knoxvegas farkers, we still need to do a meet up.

This is the first time this has ever happened? That's pretty amazing, in and of itself?

I thought about donating my remains to UTARF, but not if they're just gonna get stolen and violated by some toothless hillbilly.

Body Farm huh? I love skull season... reminds me of picking cranial ossa with grandma.

What they need to do is bring in some super forensics experts and get to the bottom of this.

millia: This is the first time this has ever happened? That's pretty amazing, in and of itself?


Surprisingly no. It's across the river from the stadium, behind a ridge, near UT Med Center. There's a huge barbed wire fence surrounding the actual farm. Most students/toothless hillbillies don't even know where it is.

Besides, if the thieves just wanted skulls it's much easier to steal them from the Anthro Department's storerooms under the stadium.

I used to live quite near there (in Sequoyah Hills, to you Knoxville Farkers). Right across the river, in fact. Used to canoe past the Body Farm... wonder if that was the infiltration/escape route...

Got arrested sneaking around in there once.

When i was a naive freshman I got lost in the storeroom/hallways while searching for the volcard office. No one even noticed I was wandering aimlessly.

Did the use of Neyland Stadium as bone storage and athletic dorms ever overlap?

Until now...

Yeah, but any doofus can look it up on google earth now. I'm still kind of amazed it hasn't been part of frat hazing at some point.

I used to work at UT Med Center as a CNA.
Parking out by the body farm fence in the summer.
It's a smell you don't forget.

/Pine tree air freshener - it does nothing.

TFA: Bass drew on research performed at the farm to help solve cases that have ranged from local killings to the death of J.P. "the Big Bopper" Richardson.

How much fine police work did it take to figure out how the Big Bopper died?

Nope, but the athletic offices used to be where the Anthro department is now, as far as I know.

Frats here are entirely too douchey to require something so clever. And any doofus could use google earth to find the "legendary" rock quarry skinny dipping pond/lake, but it always shocks me how few people actually know about it.

wanted for a thorough forensic workup

FTFA: "The acre of property off Alcoa Highway serves as home to 197 corpses in various stages of decay"

Am I reading that right? ONE acre/197 corpses? Seems like they would be pretty thick on the ground and I would guess the odor from that one acre would reach quite a ways.

Anybody knowledgeable on the subject?

No street view, but for all of you:

Don't know if it's just an acre. I always figured it was 3 or 4. They do have multiple bodies within the same area, an example of this being 3 decomposing bodies in a burnt out half buried car.

As for the smell, I've heard horror stories, yet never experienced it myself.

My guess: Fraternity scavenger hunt item.

Hilarious!!! I considered doing my graduate work at UT specifically for forensic anthropology. Then I realized I'd hate living in Knoxville...even my parents preferred Pittsburgh to Knoxville!!!

/Now I'm broke in LA.

knoxville's not that bad. It kind of grows on you. And it's no where near as crazy christian fundie as some other places in the south i've been to.

I dunno...I visited campus and interviewed with the department. Was really impressed by it, then I explored downtown with my parents and we were really disappointed. There wasn't much to do, see, explore...my parents were even complaining about it. They preferred me in NYC to it.

Like I said, it grows on you. I thought it was lame the first year and a half I was here, then I truly started exploring, and changed my mind on it completely.

The old city, a couple blocks from downtown, is where the fun stuff is. And by fun, I of course mean bars. Because there's nothing to do in Knoxville but eat and drink.

Huh?

East Tennessee is the garden of eden except for the regressive politics that seem to prevail.

Your dog wants steak, but in a pinch, he will climb a fence to get ahead.

They weren't stolen, the Zombie apocalypse has begun.

Hey I was actually thinking of doing the same program at CalState LA. You enjoying it?

If Geronimo's descendants get a skull back from the Skull and Bones Society and it's not Geronimo's, they need to test it to make sure it's not from the body farm.

Came here for Dr. Nick, leaving disappointed.

Not at all. I dropped out to do Bioarchaeology instead. The professor in charge of the program has issues i.e. hates teaching. I know 6 others who have also changed from FA to Bioarch.

/shld hve accepted NYU's offer.

hhhmmm..... do you think S.I.C.K did it? ( although SOME of you might have to read 'Death's Acre" to understand that part)

Anybody knowledgeable on the subject?

Yeah, it'd probably be pretty ripe

Although, key word is "Various states of decay", once the corpse is done to basically bone, it won't have so much of an odor.

so true..so true....

Came here for The Onion reference to Skull Farking leaving disappointed.

Link (Say no to Skull farking)

If you're running a collection of decaying human corpses known as "The Body Farm", the rest of UT may want to have a word with you...

For Farkers in Central Texas wanting to pull a copycat crime, Texas State University has a new body farm that's supposedly just as good or better than the Tennessee one.

Worked out well for you huh?

I went to UT for a year and a half before the beer and pizza got the best of me. It's a simple city. Traffic isn't bad, but there's not really a lot of stuff to do. I enjoyed it, and am going to apply for a position with Oak Ridge National Labs nearby. Things move at a slower pace in that region, and after some of the places I've lived in the last few years, I'm perfectly okay with that.

I was born and grew up in Knoxville. It's a great city, but it's nothing like LA or NY, of course. Judging which city is better depends on what your priorities are. Knoxville's charm is mostly in it's natural surroundings (it's beautiful).

If you don't consider being 1-1.5 hours away from the Smokies a HUGE plus, then Knoxville isn't for you. In that case you would probably be happier in a "forest" of city buildings.
