In missing and unidentified investigations, an abyss of dissonance seems to exist between law enforcement and the community they serve that all too often creates grating wounds that may never heal. Utilizing Forensic Technologies for Unidentified Human Remains: Death Investigation Resources, Strategies, and Disconnects bridges this abyss.

This is the first book that provides comprehensive coverage of the tools for forensic, law enforcement, and investigative professionals to explain how to utilize the vast repositories of online databases of evidence that can help investigators solve cold cases.

Bringing together crucial information in a single, non-technical resource, the book reviews the use of the NCIC, CODIS, NamUs, IDENT, IAFIS, and NDIR databases. It employs a cross-disciplinary approach to forensic evidence and includes dozens of examples where these techniques have concluded in positive results.

The book presents the material in a blended medium of both conceptual and nonfiction environments so that students, educators, investigators, families, and the public at large can easily understand. It includes dozens of examples that illustrate cases where current databases and investigative tools have yielded positive identification results.

Helping to unite families and law enforcement, this book will assuage future dissonance through understanding and transparency. After reading this book, you will gain the understanding required to develop effective strategies for the investigation of unresolved cases with a deep sense of purpose for both family and law enforcement.

"This book provides an in-depth analysis and overview of concepts, resources and strategies, technological advances and challenges and integral human inputs particularly as it relates to leading investigations. Throughout the book, the central issue which becomes inescapable is the unconscious disconnect that occurs between law enforcement and the victims/families during the investigative stage. Understanding this disconnect is fundamental to enable better understanding and cooperation between parties which will allow parties to work better together and will inevitably redound to the benefit of all stakeholders."
-Thame Pierre, The Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences

The forensic specialist will find a valuable insight into the thought processes leading investigations and a good reference for basic DNA and next-generation DNA analyses."
