It should only take two years past your bachelors, perhaps three if you go part-time. Getting a PhD takes about five to seven years past your bachelors, full-time.

It varies a great deal depending on the specific country, institution, department, specialty, etc., but a four-semester program is pretty common for an M.A. Degree in Forensic Anthropology.  That said, certain programs can take 3-4 years, and some schools lead directly into a PhD program (i.e., there's no M.A. option).  I would suggest you do some homework with respect to specific universities you might be interested in.  Most Anthropology departments have well-maintained websites that outline requirements, time in program, etc.

Good luck!

It only takes 6 years to get a masters, but unless you want to have a real shot for the career you're going to need to a Phd, internships, graduate school. The like. It all takes about 8+ years.
