Officials tell families some remains won't be ID'd

By
ROCK SPRING - Georgia&#39;s chief medical examiner met Friday with people whose loved ones were taken to Tri-State Crematory, and told them some remains may never be identified. <br> <br> Hundreds of bodies were dumped on the grounds of the northwest Georgia crematory instead of being cremated. Operator Ray Brent Marsh has been charged in the case. <br> <br> Doctor Kris Sperry says technical limitations and families who choose to withhold DNA samples mean that not all 339 uncremated corpses found at the Tri-State Crematory will not be identified. <br> <br> But Sperry says investigators will not stop doing everything they can. <br> <br> Of the remains recovered at the crematory, 176 bodies have been identified since the investigation began six months ago. <br> <br> The meeting at the Walker County Civic Center was the first time investigators and families met to discuss the investigation&#39;s progress since mid-June.
