Bruce E Anderson is a Forensic Anthropologist with the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner (PCOME), in Tucson. Dr Anderson’s principal duties include conducting postmortem forensic anthropology (FA) examinations for the purposes of effecting identification, constructing biological profiles, and describing perimortem trauma.  He also spends a considerable amount of time comparing the results of the FA exams to missing person reports, many of which are entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs).  Because of the high volume of casework due to the many undocumented border crossers (UBCs) that perish while crossing through southern Arizona, Anderson also is involved with anthropological research on these foreign national cases. https://pcomereviewboard.wixsite.com/research

Dr. Anderson will discuss FIGG partners and highlight a few cases that were resolved over the past six or seven years.
