For this proposal, Bode has identified over 752 unidentified human remains and over 35 family reference samples and has provided letters of support from the submitting agencies. In addition to the identified samples, Bode has requested funding for an additional 100 unidentified remains. This is based on recent marketing efforts by Bode to increase awareness of the missing persons program and Bode's ability to process these remains. ca/ncf
