hurricane helene devastation
Bodies from Hurricane Helene devastation identified with FBI technology built to track criminals
Agents with the FBI Nashville Field Office have been using new fingerprint-recognition technology to identify deceased individuals in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. "When you're doing this, you still take extra care because that was a human and that was somebody's loved one. It was somebody's mother, brother, sister," FBI Special Agent Paul Durant, who has been with the FBI for five years, said in a statement. "It's tough, but it's rewarding to know that we can provide some answers to families who are suffering." The hurricane that devastated parts of Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, the Carolinas and Virginia has left more than 230 people dead since it made landfall on Sept. 27.
