He has no idea who is she so she told him then he lead her to the body. but the body were missing pieces, such as the head and the limbs. After all the test and search, Dr. Temperance Brennan realize that this crime case is not a case for the police, but it is the case for an anthropologist, or an archaeological case not the coroner’s office case. After all the test that she can do such as studies the victim bones and the cause of dead, she sent part of the body to the biology lab to determine the victim sex, age and do some missing people report to identify who the victim is.

Because their are not much that she can do, since the body missing piece and have left for a pretty long time, it kinda hard for the examine part. When Tempe got a chance, she was able to determine the equipment that used for cut up the body of the victims. And she was also able to send a garbage bags that was used for hiding the victims skeleton to the science LAB, for prints checking and DNA, to find something about the killer or victims. After all the searching and testing, Tempe begins to look back at all the murders that had commit the crimes that are similar to this crime or have some of the same way of doing things, such as cut up body, keep the body for a long time and get away from the crime by just throw away the body.

That make her came up with the serial killer idea. She think there is something that is similar to another case, and that will give her more clue about who the killer is. But when she told her idea to the police and other person. No one believe that it can be a serial killer. One of the biggest problem was Inspector Luc Claude the homicide detective of the Montreal police community. Because he doesnt believe her that this case can be related to the other cases. So he denied to even think about what she was talking about that the case can be related to the other cases, just like other people in the police community that cant find anything that are related to any cases.

So Tempe choose to investigate by her own, even thought this might be risk for her forensic anthropologist job and could make a lot of people angry about it, such as the police ,inspector Luc Claude and the killer. It also will involve her and people that are close to her into danger, like her best friend Gabby, they were friend since in school, both of them study anthropology. But while Tempe put all her effort into physical anthropology, Gabby change her mind from anthropology to the cultural research path. So they both got separate at this time that they were just choose to do what they like. Now Gabby is studying in Montreal about the subculture of the hooker. And now it seem like she has been gotten involved into something dangerous. She has talk about some fear about her work, in one night during dinner dates.

Gabby called Tempe with a frightened sound, after three weeks that Gabby hasn’t contact Tempe. Tempe didnt really take it serious, cause gabby is always been a bit panic. When Gabby drops out of Tempe sight, Tempe feel annoyed of her more than worry about her. After all, Tempe has a trouble of her own, about finding the related of the crime. So Tempe wont worry about Gabby, if Gabby will play the game, because her thought will come back and haunt herself. Finally the police take tempe seriously and form a team to capture the criminal, after all the details came up and confirmed that there is a serial killer. They continued to search for the killer but they are still not close enough.
