Then it becomes a nightmare -- Corpses on the streets : a flood is coming, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it -- Bringing the dead to life : experts try to get a picture of the bodies from the cemetery -- Bone detective -- Close-up on corpses : forensic experts begin to sort and study the remains -- Skull & bones -- Putting the pieces together : Hardin's dead can rest in peace again.
Summary "It's the Great Flood of 1993, and much of the midwestern U.S. is covered with water. But the tiny town of Hardin, Missouri, is covered with something much, much worse. . . dead bodies. Follow the experts as they gather human remains, create profiles of the dead, match bones, and put skeletons back together."-- Provided by publisher.
