Bite marks
Bite marks are most commonly found in cases of sexual assault and are linked back to the
offender based on dental records. Bite marks should be photographed so that a mold can be

self inflicted, a special orthodontist can be consulted and used on the stand to evaluate the
possible links between the mark and the suspect.

Ted Bundy is one of America's most infamous serial killers who was active in the mid 70s.
He was convicted of aggravated kidnapping, attempted murder, burgalry and murder. Bundy
was convicted of the murder and rape of Lisa Levy when investigators examined

extremely crooked lower teeth making it an easy case for prosecutors to make that the bite
mark was left by Bundy.
