odontology report concerning the body, detailed personal descriptions, DNA samples for nuclear and mitochondrial DNA analysis,

enforcement agency, medical examiner, or coroner shall seek support from appropriate State and federal agencies, including National

may include, but is not limited to, fingerprint comparison; forensic odontology; nuclear or mitochondrial DNA analysis, or both; and
forensic anthropology. Provides that the assisting law enforcement agency, medical examiner, or coroner shall obtain a National Crime
Information Center number from the Department of State Police to verify entry and maintain this number within the unidentified
human remains case file. Provides that a National Crime Information Center Unidentified Person record shall remain on file
indefinitely or until action is taken by the originating agency to clear or cancel the record. Provides that the assisting law enforcement

resource for analysis and inclusion in the National DNA Index System. Defines "assisting law enforcement agency". Makes other
