I wonder how many tens of thousands of dollars were wasted on that? What were they gonna do if the owner was still alive? Sew it back on? What a waste of money...that coulda been spent feeding poor folks....

Not as much as the 3 million spent by Congress to study the DNA of bears in Montana.

The cost; whatever it was, was well worth it.

Advancing the science is money well spent.

Probably much less than the millions in tax dollars Republican Senator Ted Stevens spent on to build his infamous Alaskan "bridge to nowhere." I think U.S. taxpayers would much rather their tax dollars go towards advancing DNA science and cutting-edge forensic techniques than pay for Steven's porkbarrel spending.

Could an unsolved outdoor death in Alaska be anything but a cold case?

Ted Stevens did it.

It's good to know what happened & it puts a human face on it. I have empathy for that.

But it's really good to know we can figure out where somebody died, That will help us when we get in more wars. We'll have some very smart people and wonderful technology if we can just keep the cannon fodder coming and the stupidity multiplying.

Where is the rest of him? Did someone eat him thinking he was a Mammoth?

It's good to know that Alaska is spending tax dollars in a beneficial way!

Was his johnson mumified and was it erect? These are critical questions unanswered. Back in the 40's women had not quite the hygeine that they do now so it indicates that there was probably some nasty stanky vag juices on his johnson.
