Answer:

Femur

Step-by-step explanation:

The bone to forensically analyze in order to create a height profile of the victims would the femur.

The approximate height of a human can best be estimated by measuring the length of the bone that runs from the hip to the knee, otherwise known as the femur.

For the males, the length of the femur in centimeters is multiplied by 2.32 followed by the addition of 65.53 in order to arrive at the approximate height of the individual. For the females, on the other hand, the length of the femur in centimeters is multiplied by 2.47 followed by the addition of 54.1.
