Dr. William Golliher is a forensic anthropologist with UCLA who works on retainer for the medical examiner's office. He also examines prehistoric human remains found in the La Brea Tar Pits. He is a person of strong religious faith which he believes is helpful in coping with the human misery that he sees in his work.
