The Boulder County Coroner’s Office announced Wednesday that it still has not positively identified remains found inside a burned home during the Stone Canyon Fire.The office said in a news release that due to the condition of the remains, the identification process is challenging. DNA extraction is difficult because of damage to the skeletal remains caused by the fire.
“The integrity of the bones is significantly compromised after a fire, making it extremely difficult to obtain usable DNA,” Boulder County Coroner Jeff Martin said in a news release. “In addition, locating a living family member for comparative DNA analysis can further complicate and delay the process. We are dedicated to overcoming these challenges and are utilizing every available resource to assist in this identification effort.
