New York officials are continuing a difficult search for victims from Ground Zero. After the 9/11 attacks, some families never received remains or clear identification. Today, the city works with new and more complex technology to look for small biological traces. The goal is to identify more than 1,000 victims whose cases are still not solved. This process can take years because the evidence is limited and the work must be very careful. Family members say the wait is painful, but they still hope for answers. One relative described the loss, saying they never recovered their loved one. Even now, the investigation remains active and ongoing.
