Western Carolina U. plans 'body farm'
John Williams, director of the forensic anthropology lab at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, N.C., examines part of a human femur bone from a cadaver named Walter, inside the lab July 24, 2006. Soon, Williams will have another place to do experiments, a well hidden location near the school's campus where Williams and his students will be able to study how cadavers decompose in the mountainous environment of western North Carolina. It will be only the second such "body farm" in the country. (AP Photo/Alan Marler)
