520			_a"Every year in Los Angeles county, several hundred men and women lose their identities when they die. Most are lucky enough to regain them within a few days or weeks after investigators from the coroner's office find the medical records or fingerprints that match the body to the life it led. For others, months may go before investigators can track down family members or friends and successfully reunite them with their names. Between 85% and 90% of the county's John and Jane Does are eventually identified." (LOS ANGELES TIMES MAGAZINE) This article describes the identification process for Jane and John Does and relays that in some cases, "investigations can stretch on for years, remaining officially open, if not active, long after the dead have been cremated.".
