Following a major earthquake, a regional hospital manages both survivors and victim identification. The forensic team faces: limited DNA lab capacity (30 samples/week), 200 bodies, pressure from families for quick release, and presence of closed casket bodies (intact) versus open/fragmented remains. As the coordinating forensic expert, evaluate and prioritize the identification strategy balancing ethical, legal, and practical considerations.

A forensic team managing a mass disaster has identified 80 out of 100 victims using primary identifiers. For the remaining 20 highly fragmented bodies, multiple body parts potentially belonging to the same individual are tagged with different numbers. Family reference DNA samples are available. Evaluate the best protocol to avoid mismatching and ensure accurate reassociation of body parts.
