Forsenic Detective

I had the privilege of spending half a day with (I am told) Cape Town's leading forensic detective. I asked him which investigation he was most proud of. He said it was the Two Oceans Backpackers fire. Four people had been burnt to death in the fire. One, a young woman, could not be identified. There was very little to go on, but he was determined to find her family. He had her face reconstructed in Johannesburg, he identified her culture (Xhosa), and made an educated guess about her origin (the Cape Flats). Then he put out missing person notices with the reconstructed face. People came forward and identified the victim. OBSERVATION: I think this is an "unsung story". I had to do with him as part of a far simpler investigation.
