BCA hopes to identify all nameless remains in Minnesota

For decades, dozens of human skeletons have sat nameless in medical examiners’ offices across Minnesota.

The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) is gambling that advanced DNA techniques will soon link those unidentified remains to the names of people who have been missing for as long as 40 years.

But for that to happen, state officials need relatives of long missing Minnesotans to step forward and let investigators take a simple swab from the inside of their cheeks.

That DNA will then be compared to DNA from at least 100 remains found in Minnesota from the 1970s to the 1990s.

Perhaps this should go under Missing Found Deceased as a 'sticky'???

I think that would be a good idea, Nut.
