This document discusses various methods used in identifying unknown deceased individuals, including: 1. Obtaining fingerprints, dental records, DNA, clothing, jewelry, medical records, and photographs which can be used to positively identify victims. 2. Analyzing skeletal remains through examination of bones, teeth, and facial features to determine characteristics like age, sex, race, and height. 3. Using facial reconstruction techniques by an artist, guided by tissue depth markers on the skull, to produce drawings or 3D models that may help with identification.
