In Belgium, a total of 759 cases of disappearances are unsolved. The missing persons unit of the federal police believes the solution to solving at least some of these cases could lie with the 250 unidentified bodies buried in cemeteries throughout Belgium.
The purpose of the unit’s "Operation Cemetery" therefore is to map these bodies, to try to identify them through DNA samples and link them to missing persons cases.
The spotlight was turned on the operation during International Missing Children’s Day on Tuesday, when deputy prime minister Vincent Van Quickenborne joined the missing persons unit at the cemetery in Assebroek, near Bruges, to observe the team at work.
