  5. Why Use DNA? • A number of human remains cannot be identifiedvisually, with fingerprint or dental examination. • Often there are no clues to the identity of the remains. • Such unidentified remains may only be resolved using DNA.

  6. The Three Critical Elements • Reference DNA • Post-Mortem DNA (Unknown Deceased) • Database searching and matching

  7. Identification Triangle Post-Mortem DNA Reference DNA Database Searching and Matching

  8. Reference DNA Direct References • Personal Effects • Medical Samples Kinship References • Close relatives
