With rise in border migrant deaths, forensic volunteers and students work to identify remains
In scenes reminiscent of a grim post-battlefield, Forensic Anthropology Center (FAC) faculty, graduate students, and dedicated volunteers assemble to tackle the difficult task of identifying deceased migrants. Their expertise is crucial in deciphering the fragmented clues left behind by victims who perished during their perilous journeys across the border.
Each unidentified body is a somber reminder of the human toll exacted by migration. But through their painstaking efforts, these forensic specialists strive to restore dignity to the deceased and provide closure to their families. Driven by compassion and a deep sense of justice, they work tirelessly to unravel the mysteries surrounding each case, offering a glimmer of hope in the face of such tragedy.
