Yvonne Kjorlien: Host, Producer & Writer
I’m a physical anthropologist and archaeologist who studies scattered and scavenged remains. I do this to help increase the recovery rate of human remains in outdoor contexts, to help law enforcement personnel close forensic cases and provide closure for families.
