Abstract
A case is described where the identity of an unknown body was establis hed several years after death and despite the fact that the body was f ound in a foreign country. This was made possible due to the establish ed Interpol routines and the good cooperation between the authorities involved in the Scandinavian countries. A significant role was also pl ayed by a computerized register with antemortem dental findings of mis sing Swedish citizens.
