Computer registration of missing persons. A case of Scandinavian cooperation in identification of an unknown male skeleton.
A case is described where the identity of an unknown body was established several years after death and despite the fact that the body was found in a foreign country. This was made possible due to the established Interpol routines and the good cooperation between the authorities involved in the Scandinavian countries. A significant role was also played by a computerized register with antemortem dental findings of missing Swedish citizens.
