He also took DNA samples. He described to to the youngsters, who volunteered to be printed and have DNA recorded, the value of having such information.

One man, who lost his daughter in a plane crash at sea many years ago, said having had DNA would have been helpful in identifying her remains. DNA is also helpful in returning lost children to their parents.
