Why does it take so long to identify the bodies?
Dental work, fingerprints or tattoos, can take time and if that doesn't work, officials turn to DNA testing. But that works best in cases in which a close family member can give a sample for comparison. At the same time, detectives are working to help determine identities by using information from families, social media accounts and belongings from the site.
