Thousands of fragments of human remains are still unidentified decades after a suspected Indiana serial killer died by suicide.
The Hamilton County coroner will now get help from a genetic genealogy group to identify victims.
“It’s important when we talk about this case, that when we say bones or human remains, they are people,” he said.
It combines advanced DNA analysis with traditional genealogical research, to solve crimes and identify human remains by linking DNA to family trees.
Indiana has a statutory obligation that requires a coroner to identify remains.
