I think this is actually in Knoxville not to the south. It's in the community of Vestal I think. If anyone knows fix the location. You can't Google this stuff. BDSIII 03:58, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

The second body farm in the USA has been opened in Cullowhee, North Carolina at Western Carolina University. I have updated this article to a more general description of a Body Farm since WCU also uses the term to describe their facility. Please let me know what all of you think and make any changes you see fit. User: NCMattJ 15:20, 28 August 2006 (EDT)

I think that the body farm is really relative to help police and detectives to solve crimes. I think the body farm that is in Knoxville, Tennessee is an awesome way to learn

[edit] "The original UT Body Farm..."

In the Popular Culture section's opening statement, it says: "The original UT Body Farm..." which is referring to the University of Tennessee. I'm going to add periods so that it says "U.T." so that it doesn't look like the postal abbreviation for Utah. I'm changing both occurances of "UT". If anybody thinks that this could be handled more properly or reworded in a more sensible way, please discuss. 67.161.208.225 (talk) 03:36, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Make that 5 occurences that I'll change, instead of 2. 67.161.208.225 (talk) 03:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] March 2008

I have done some rewording which I think has sufficiently clarified this article to justify the removal of the "confusing" tag. Refs have obviously been added since the "refs" and "citations" tags were put I place, and I have added a couple more citations and the major ref on this subject (Bill Bass's book), which I think justifies the removal of the refs tag too. I've left the "citations" tag in place for now because the article does merit more cites, probably from the Bass book in re the Knoxville facility and for the third facility when it opens this Spring. I have a copy of Bass and will add extra cites as soon as I can. -- 92.10.20.45 (talk) 13:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Further to my unsigned edit above, extra cites now in place and cite template removed. -- Karenjc (talk) 12:23, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
