Episode Details

For 25 years, forensic scientist Mark Desire has led the relentless effort to identify victims of 9/11, driven by promises made to grieving families. Amid shattered remains and impossible odds, his team—now including a new generation—pushes the limits of science, even turning to genealogical DNA tools to find answers where traditional methods failed. With over 60% identified, the remaining 40% still haunt families, their loved ones stored at the Memorial. But Desire’s mission endures: not just to solve mysteries, but to honor the dead and bring closure to those who wait, one name at a time.
