The Green Haven Murderer
In 1982, the body of a female prison guard was found near Green Haven Prison, and Dr. Baden was called to look at suspicious teeth marks on the body. Amazingly, he recalled a case four years earlier with similar teeth patterns. Sure enough, the man convicted of the first killing was serving time in Green Haven. Using known bite marks from the first victim compared with the unknown bite marks from the second victim, a forensic odontologist was able to positively identify the killer. It was the conclusive comparisons of the bites which led to a second conviction.

When bite marks from two different victims were superimposed over each other (above), they matched perfectly. Right, a mold made from the killer's teeth fits exactly with a photo of the second victim.
