Identification of Booth's body

[RJNorton]

I have been trying to follow up on the dentist and dental records because I know that master detective John C. Brennan was researching this back in the 1980s. I remember the name Merrill, but nothing else. I have a feeling that the dentist was from either Baltimore or Washington since the records seem easy to obtain, but why no mention is made of him being on site for the prying open makes no sense.

Laurie, I do not know if this is accurate or whether it will help track him down, but I have a file that says Merrill's office was at 344 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington. Unfortunately I did not record where I read that information.
