How the U.S. military will identify Korean War remains

Forensic anthropologist and laboratory manager Denise To will work on human remains handed over to the U.S. from North Korea Wednesday. The scientists will begin the process of trying to match the bones to American soldiers who didn’t return from the Korean War.
