Missing no longer: International commission forges ahead to identify genocide victims

Article Abstract:

An effort is made to identify and match the missing people that followed the breakup of the former Yugoslavia, with the bodies that are exhumed from the mass grave in Croatia, by the International Commission on Missing Persons. To improve on their efforts, instead of starting with family interviews and anthropological forensics, scientists begin with genetic analysis of the remains.
