His work took him to numerous countries as he assisted in solving missing person and murder crimes. Owsley was called to Waco, Texas to identify mangled bodies and body parts. In 1996, Owsley was contacted concerning the discovery in Washington State of the ‘Kennewick Man' skeleton. It became a legal tug of war between local Indian tribes, the United States Government, and numerous dedicated anthropologist led by Doug Owsley.
