Forensic Files - Season 8_ Episode 31 - Past Lives - Full Episode

The burned remains of a wealthy American businessman are found in his rental car in Mexico. A wristwatch and medic-alert bracelet are the only personal effects to survive the fire [citation:1][citation:5]. When his wife files a $7 million life insurance claim, investigators call on renowned forensic anthropologist Dr. Bill Bass [citation:3]. His analysis reveals the teeth and bones belong to a much older man of Mexican descent—not the 34-year-old businessman [citation:3]. The case exposes a shocking scheme of fraud and identity theft [citation:12].
