The Bite That Stayed Frozen: How a 1979 Cast Cracked a Killer

A frozen wax cast of seven tooth impressions sat untouched in evidence for thirty-six years, the single physical clue from a woman found strangled and hidden in goldenrod on September 4, 1979. Who left a clear upper-arch bite with one chipped incisal edge, and why did the investigation focus on a man whose dentition did not match the cast?

In this episode, we tell what the case file contains and how routine details - a garden notebook, a foreman at the lumberyard, and a cast in a chest freezer - shaped decades of inquiries; what question finally reopened the file and led toward the truth?

Person: Wendy Griffin
Date: September 4, 1979
Location: drainage channel on Vesper Mill Road, Calhoun Falls
Cause: manual strangulation; body moved after death
Evidence: wax cast of seven upper-tooth impressions preserved in a chest freezer for 36 years

- The body was discovered by road grader operator Randy Tillman at sunrise on September 4, 1979, a quarter mile from the nearest occupied house.
- The bite mark on Wendy Griffin's left forearm displayed seven distinct tooth impressions from the upper arch with one chipped incisal edge.
- Wendy Griffin was 38 years old, worked at Vance Lumber, and tended her garden every Wednesday evening from April through October.
- Louis Farber, a foreman at Vance Lumber, had been seen arguing with Wendy about ten days before her death and had no verified alibi for the night of September 3, 1979.
- A Pittsburgh odontologist concluded in 1979 that the wax cast did not match Louis Farber's dentition.
