The part in Dead Men Do Tell Tales that has interested me the most so far is whenever Maples uses bones to convict murderers. It is amazing what stories that the bones could tell you if you know how to look at them correctly. One of the many murder cases that he helped clear up was one where a man named Raymond Stone murdered the wife of the farmer that hired him. When her body was found, it had been torn apart by alligators. Her skull was found later and Maples found a head wound that was inflicted by a hatchet in such a way that the least blood possible will be spilled. After an investigation into Stone's background and records, it turns out that he killed the farmer's wife when she refused his advances. Stone was convicted and sentenced to jail. And with just one bone, Maples was able to bring a criminal to justice.
