Nearly 24 years after 9/11, advanced DNA technology has identified three more victims of the attacks — Ryan Fitzgerald, 26, Barbara Keating, 72, and an unnamed woman whose family requested privacy — bringing the total identified to 1,653. Their remains, recovered in 2001 and 2002, were matched thanks to new forensic methods, offering long-awaited closure to grieving families. The New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner continues its mission to identify the approximately 1,100 victims still unknown, underscoring the city’s enduring promise to honor those lost and the lives they once lived.
