When the police department notified our clients of their, respectively, daughter's and mother’s death, the family was told that the body had been identified by the medical examiner based on dental records. They were heartbroken. They subsequently held a funeral ceremony and grieved. Then, 8 months later, they learned through photographs on social media that their daughter/mother was alive and well, and certainly not deceased as Rochester authorities had previously shared! Last week, the Court agreed that it is in the interest of justice to allow the case to proceed.
