Families Hope DNA Will Identify Missing Loved Ones

The University of North Texas Center for Human Identification is using the science of DNA in hopes of identifying more than 1,000 unidentified human remains from across the country.

In Florida, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement estimates there are more than 500 human remains yet to be named.

Medical examiners in Lee County hold on to tissues of the unidentified bodies in case DNA can one day be used to find a name.
