    #221 - Two three-year-old girls from Noxubee County, Mississippi, are found murdered under very similar circumstances. They were both abducted from their homes, sexually assaulted, and killed. Their killers also left behind a strong piece of forensic evidence: a bitemark. But despite their similarities suggesting the same person was responsible for both crimes, two separate men were arrested largely based on the controversial subfield of forensic science known as bitemark analysis.
