Bones Identified With DNA Collected At OC Sheriff's 'ID The Missing' Event

SANTA ANA (CBS/AP) — Orange County authorities say DNA samples collected from relatives last October at an "ID the Missing" event matches material from bones found in 1989.

The remains, which were found in San Bernardino County in 1989, were identified as Kristyne Olivia Trejo, who went missing 28 years ago.

It's the first success for the new "ID the Missing" program, which aims to collect DNA samples from relatives of those with missing loved ones and compare them to DNA from unidentified remains.

Trejo's family members will join law enforcement officials Tuesday afternoon to discuss the case and the new DNA program.

Some 34 families have provided 47 samples so far.
