The Anatomy Murders

Attendees all seemed to agree that Friday the 13th was an appropriate evening to hold the lecture and book signing by Lisa Rosner, author of "The Anatomy Murders." Speaking to a full house at The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, Rosner discussed several persistent mythologies associated with the story of Burke and Hare. Those who missed the lecture can still purchase the book at the Mütter Museum Store.

THE GIRL WITH A CROOKED NOSE

The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, the F.C. Wood Institute for the History of Medicine and the Mütter Museum recently hosted Frank Bender and Ted Botha for a lecture and book signing. In his riveting book, "The Girl with a Crooked Nose," Ted Botha tells the story of Frank Bender, renowned artist and self-taught forensic sculptor. With only skeletal remains for reference, Frank Bender recovers the features of the deceased with uncanny accuracy and intuitive artistic mastery. His reconstructions have allowed law enforcement to make proper identifications, bringing closure to the families and friends of victims and leading to the capture and conviction of the murderers. Mr. Bender has worked closely with the Philadelphia Police Department, FBI, Scotland Yard and Mexican and Egyptian governments, and has been instrumental in solving at least nine "cold-case" murders. He has also assisted with numerous other anthropological and criminal investigations, including traveling to Mexico to uncover the identities of "feminicidios" in Juárez. Mr. Bender also has a career as a fine artist, and works in a variety of media including watercolors, pastels, photography and public monuments. The evening at The College of Physicians, which included a Q & A session between author and subject, was by all accounts fascinating, illuminating and inspiring. Those who missed it can still see Mr. Bender and Mr. Botha interviewed by Dr. Robert Hicks, the Director of the Mütter Museum & Historical Medical Library, on his show "No Bones About It."
