The remains of two adults have been discovered in the ongoing third excavation at Oak Lawn Cemetery in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as part of the effort to find unidentified victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The archaeologists have exposed 22 grave shafts so far, with two remains already found. The excavation is based on limited information from death certificates and funeral homes, focusing on adult males buried in simple wood coffins. The first two excavations yielded a total of 52 burials, including 28 remains. The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre resulted in the death of hundreds of African American residents, with bodies buried in mass graves and families left unaware of their loved ones' fate.
Interpol has launched a new initiative called Operation Identify Me to identify 22 murdered women whose remains were found in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands several decades ago. Investigators are using facial reconstruction, isotope analysis, and details such as clothing, jewelry, or tattoos to determine the victims' identities and possibly return them to their families. Women disproportionately suffer from gender-based violence, and the prevalence of international travel, migration, and human trafficking means they may die far from home.
Interpol has launched a public campaign called "Operation Identify Me" to name 22 women who were murdered in Belgium, Germany, and The Netherlands over the last few decades. Most of the murders are considered cold cases involving women who died 10, 20, 30 or even 40 years ago. Interpol has published facial reconstruction images, information about personal items, clothes, jewelry, tattoos, and pictures of the areas where the bodies were found. Authorities are urging anyone who may have information about the women to contact the relevant national police team.
Interpol has launched Operation Identify Me, an international appeal seeking public help to put names to 22 unidentified women who were found dead in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands over a span of 43 years. The women mostly met violent deaths, and police hope that learning their names might provide evidence about possible perpetrators and establish whether any of the cases are linked. Interpol is making details about each case public on its website, including facial reconstructions of some of the women, images of jewelry and other items found with their remains, and contact forms for people who may have any information about the cases.
