“They probably spent the better part of a year working on it ... the lab wouldn't take 'no' for an answer." @rollingstone.com.web.brid.gy talks with a member of the dedicated OCME team that helped solve the coldest of cases. Catch more of the team on Fri 12/6 at NYC Missing Persons Day in the Bronx
