Goofs

Assuming this is a similar facility to the prototype facility at the University of Tennessee no one would be able to casually walk near it. The smell is profound. Additionally, the facility at the University of Tennessee is very secure. It is enclosed inside of a very high chain link fence. Visitors don't just walk around and look at the bodies.

Angela has a very bad sprain that turned her ankle black and blue. She could barely walk on it and yet within a day, two at most, she is walking around as though nothing ever happened. Not only that, but she is able to go back to the rink to resume skating lessons. Unless she was healed by a miracle worker, it is not possible for an injury like that to heal in a day or two.

The Body Farm isn't unique to Boston, that one isn't even the first, which was at the University of Tennesese. And they were around when Maura was training; the first was opened in 1981, when she was in primary school.

Maura confused "unique individuals" with "opposites". Finding a commonality between individuals isn't unusual. She even compares her and Jane to Yin and Yang, which are two opposing but complimentary forces. Not two unique forces that happen to get along.

Maura knows nothing about female anatomy. A wide pelvis and lack of osteoporosis most definitely does not indicate an age, especially without old x-rays to compare pelvis width with. They indicate an age range, and that range is at least 50 years; because that's the age a doctor would expect a healthy woman to begin developing osteoporosis. It takes about 50 years, from age 40 to 90, for a woman's pelvis to narrow a tiny amount, so it wouldn't be noticable for many years after it had begun. (So the pelvis of a woman of say 60 wouldn't show any obvious signs of narrowing.) Since it takes around 50 years for the pelvis to narrow an almost imperceptible distance and not all women get osteoporosis, the victim could be much older than 50 and not show signs of either condition.

There are a few ways of determining age from a body, mostly from bone growth and teeth. One of those ways makes a huge difference to cause of death: The hyoid bone can't be broken by strangulation or hanging before the age of 21, because it's still slightly flexible and not attached to anything. Even by the age of 30 it is possible to choke or hang a woman without breaking the hyoid. So Maura's baseless guess at age determined her inferences about cause of death.

Maura knows nothing about French cuisine. She just listed American dishes in French. What she said she loved was stew, steak fries, and what Americans think is sauerkraut. (Choucroute is cabbage, but that's pretty much where the similarity in preparation ends.)

The writers really need to watch the series. Jane already talked to Maura about how hard it is raising Angela. So it makes no sense for her to start admonishing Jane for acting like her mother's mother now.
