Over the years, VOICES has continued our longstanding partnership with OCME to keep victims’ families updated on its ongoing efforts to keep the pledge that the late Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Charles Hirsch made “to do whatever it took, for as long as it took, to identify every victim.”

With new advances in DNA technology, Dr. Hirsch’s successor, Dr. Barbara Sampson, and her successor Dr Jason Graham and the OCME team continue to make additional positive identifications. Since this work is ongoing, VOICES efforts to support and keep victims’ families informed remains a focus. Each year, VOICES NYC Symposium features an opportunity for victims’ families to meet with the Chief Medical Examiner and the OCME staff to get updates and ask questions on the notification process. VOICES also collaborates with the OCME to host virtual and in person events to update the families on advances in DNA technology and OCME’s identification process.
