Dr. Eom

Yongbin Eom was studying a very peculiar case at the University of North Texas Centre for Human Identification in 2008. He was called to the scene of a horrific car accident in Seoul, South Korea to help identify one of the victims. The victim’s body was completely unidentifiable due to trauma related to the accident, and the police were completely unable to determine who this person was based on the DNA evidence.
