1 2 3 Hbs Case Report
DNA Analysis: After testing the DNA of the bones, the skeleton found matched
missing person number two. This is because the analysis of the gel electrophoresis
matched the DNA received from the family of person number two. Fragments
traveled the same distance concluding that the skeleton is person two.
Final Conclusion: After narrowing down the possibilities of who the skeleton could
have been, the forensic anthropologist was able to ask the families for the DNA.
They used the characteristics of 54 18 year-old, Asian Female to narrow the
possibility to two different missing people. The families were then asked to provide
DNA and their DNA was compared to that of the skeleton and determined that it
belonged to missing person number two. DNA analysis is a key component to
determining the identity of missing persons, without it, it would be nearly
impossible to determine 100% the identity of the skeletons.
