Victoria Advocate May 11 2014: Forensic sculptor reconstructs hundreds-year-old face

The forensic anthropologist on Fox network's television series "Bones" brought Audrey Corey, 14, of Cologne, into the Museum of the Coastal Bend on Saturday.

Corey's love of the television series has inspired her to pursue the career brought to life onscreen by the savvy character, Dr. Temperance Brennan.

"I'm not very social, and I wouldn't have to work with people," Audrey said. "And I like to solve mysteries."

The Goliad student and her father, William "Chili" Corey, visited the museum to meet Amanda Danning, a forensic sculptor.

Danning has worked at the museum since Tuesday to reconstruct the face of the Marquis de la Sablonniere.

The French colonist was killed in the 1600s by Karankawa Indians in Victoria County. more
