The suffolk county district attorneys office, the countys chief prosecutorial office, in conjunction with the project partner, the suffolk county medical examiners office, seeks funding for a recently established task force, the first of its kind in suffolk county, which is dedicated to identifying missing and unidentified human remains, as well as investigating and prosecuting unsolved homicides. A dedicated task force, utilizing modern DNA techniques, is a major step forward in being able to give DOE victims their names back, but more importantly providing answers to affected families and apprehending the perpetrators of these crimes. To address this, the suffolk county district attorneys office will utilize this funding to implement a specialized initiative. The overall goals of the project are to focus on the identifying missing and unidentified human remains in suffolk county, which will undoubtedly lead to prosecuting more violent cold cases, but most importantly, to bring long-awaited answers to the families of DOE victims on where their loved ones are.
