Intermountain Forensics (IMF) joins our partners, the Ramapo College Investigative Genetic Genealogy Center, the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office, and the Yavapai County Medical Examiner in bringing closure to a decades-old mystery surrounding partial remains recovered in Arizona by a child who wanted to build a rock collection. This collected rock was soon discovered to be, in reality, a human jawbone, which spurred the investigation forward.
In January 2023, the investigators sought assistance from the Ramapo College Investigative Genetic Genealogy Center. Samples were then sent to our laboratory, and IMF employed precision forensic techniques: advanced whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatics to generate a genetic profile from the sample. Ramapo's team was able to use this profile to identify U.S. Marine Corps Captain Everett Leland Yager.
The story of Captain Yager is well-known; he tragically lost his life in a military training exercise over the Riverside County, California area in July 1951 and was buried in Palmyra, Missouri. How this portion of his remains found their way to the Arizona desert is a mystery that is likely never to be understood. However, we are honored to assist in this investigation and reunite these remains with his family and final resting place.

The primary victory of the RTPS Bihar portal is its success in de-tethering citizens from the block office, effectively reducing the dependency on middlemen for vital documents like caste and income certificates.
The transparency achieved through the online publication of the Bihar Bhumi land record is a powerful deterrent against illegal land grabbing and bureaucratic corruption, finally empowering the common citizen.

Hanuman Chalisa in Kannada lyrics is a wonderful way to chant the verses without confusion. I downloaded it recently and found the words very clear and easy to read. Reciting in Kannada makes the stotra more meaningful and brings positivity to the mind and body.
Reading Bajrang Baan in Assamese is a divine experience for me and my family. We now chant it together every Tuesday and Saturday, and it has made our prayers more meaningful. The flow of the verses in Assamese makes it easy to recite, and we strongly feel the blessings of Hanumanji whenever we complete the stotra.
