Tears to my eyes, those parents..
The tech for identifying remains must be quite advanced. I don't watch TV shows that might keep me informed on the topic but I imagine it's a well funded area, and like other medical areas the people working there have a strange relationship to their job, given 'job satisfaction' means, successfully identifying cause of death and aiding in criminal investigations as well as relief to families. Not work I could do, bravo to them.
- bregma 5y agoIt's unlikely there were enough records to connect the remains with their families. It's also unlikely there will be the big budget required for a TV-style investigation using "zoom! enhance!" technology projected in big screens in glass-walled offices. The most likely outcome is the remains will be respectfully transferred to local band councils who will perform the appropriate rituals and lay them to their final resting place, and that's it.
- joshuakelly 5y agoIt's being reported that they used ground-penetrating radar. I don't believe any sort of exhumation has been performed - or if so, it hasn't been reported. I think it's likely therefore that this is an approximation/estimate from whatever data is coming up in the radar. Would be interesting to know many more details: was this completely unmarked? What were the conditions of the burials? How old are they (both in terms of age of remains but age at death as well)?
