"Intermountain Forensics has been a wonderful partner in efforts to bring justice and answers to families. Their non-profit lab has also played an important role in working to identify the victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. With their pioneering and passionate spirit, they have always been a pleasure to work with. "
