The Fall Line®
About this episode

On this special episode of The Fall Line, we speak with friend of the show Anthony Redgrave. If you keep up with true-crime news, you’ve likely seen Anthony on television. He was a lead researcher in the oldest doe case solved by forensic genealogists working for law enforcement. The victim in question has been known as the Clark County John Doe, the torso-in-the-cave doe, and Buffalo Cave Doe.
