As September 11 approaches, it’s hard to believe that not every victim recovered from Ground Zero in New York was identified.
For two of those families, there is comforting news. New York City is identifying two more people who died in the attacks almost 20 years ago. The chief Medical Examiner's office says the 16-hundred and 46th person to be identified through ongoing DNA analysis is Dorothy Morgan, from Long Island.
The family of the one-thousand, 647th person, who is a man, has asked that he remain anonymous. The two identifications are the first new IDs of World Trade Center victims since October of 2019.
Because of new technology, officials expect to confirm more identifications soon. About 40-percent of those recovered from the rubble are still not identified.
