36 When they left the cemetery, they went to an office in a nearby town, and the judge or the forensic expert who accompanied them asked them not to move from there, because it was a place where they would be protected. Later, they returned to Guatemala City and Harbury called someone in Mexico City, and this person told them that they should not leave the hotel and that they should leave the country as soon as possible f. Testimony of José Fernando Moscoso Moller, Guatemalan archaelogist, member of the Guatemalan Forensic Anthropology Team He has carried out historical and forensic anthropological investigations at the request of the Guatemalan authorities since 1992, and has worked internationally with such organizations as the United Nations in Bosnia and Herzegovina and with the Commission for Historical Clarification of the Republic of Haiti. His expertise is the analysis of bones from the human skeleton, in other words, when there is no longer any soft tissue. A forensic anthropological investigation has three basic aims: to identify a person by his osseous remains, in particular to determine sex, height, age, diseases and dental characteristics; to establish the cause of death and, lastly, to establish how this happened. As a member of the Guatemalan Forensic Anthropology Team, he had conducted an exhumation in Retalhuleu, in August 1993, in order “to establish whether the person buried as XX on March 13, 1992, and who had died the day before, supposedly in an armed encounter, was Efraín Bámaca [Velásquez].” As more than a year had elapsed between the time that Bámaca Velásquez allegedly died and the moment when the exhumation in Retalhuleu was conducted, it was not possible to perform an autopsy on the corpse, but rather an anthropological study, with the characteristics described above. Jennifer Harbury, the Retalhuleu coroner, several members of the Guatemalan Forensic Anthropology Team, journalists, various authorities and observers were present at this procedure. The Retalhuleu coroner was the person in charge of identifying the area where the body to be exhumed could be, because it was he who had performed the autopsy in 1992. Initially, the grave where the corpse was buried could not be located precisely and, consequently, it was first necessary to extract two other bodies, because they were in an area where the XX were buried very near to each other. When they were able to find the corpse on which the 1992 autopsy had been performed, they examined it to establish its identity, seeking characteristics similar to those of Bámaca Velásquez, principally his dental work and age. On examining the skeleton that was recovered, it was found that, among other elements, it did not have prognathism, or separation of the upper and lower median incisors. To the contrary, it had “some metallic crowns” on both upper median incisors. Moreover, on analyzing the characteristics of the skeleton, using the Todd method, it was determined that it corresponded to an individual of between 18 and 22 years of age, and not 34 as Bámaca Velásquez had been.
