Who were they? Identifying illegal immigrant remains in the Arizona desert

January 6, 2020 by Sharyl Attkisson Leave a Comment


The following is a transcript of my story on “Full Measure” about efforts to identify the remains of illegal immigrants found in the Arizona desert. Watch the video by clicking the link at the end of the page.

We are approaching the 20th anniversary of a spike in illegal immigrant remains found in the southern Arizona desert. Today, we look at a special effort to identify them also entering its 20th year. Dr. Greg Hess has led the effort for the past dozen or so years. He’s a forensic pathologist and chief medical examiner for Pima County in Tucson, Arizona.

Dr. Hess: This is an example of a skeletal remains that you knew we’d find out in the environment that we’ve been talking about. And the only property that we found with the remains is, these pair of shoes, right?

Sharyl: When did this come in?
