Dozens of bodies may be exhume
SCORES of unidentified bodies may have to be exhumed, after a damning report by the Victorian Office of Police Integrity found inadequate procedures caused at least six missing people to be buried in unmarked graves.
It is feared it will take many years for 49 unidentified bodies and the remains of 20 others to be matched with the 470 missing persons on the state's files.
Families agonising over whether or not their loved ones are alive may also face further protracted delays after the report noted that current police staffing arrangements meant it would take several years to get through the "laborious" records to search for possible matches.
The OPI investigation, which found serious investigative and procedural deficiencies led to six people being buried in unmarked graves while they remained on the missing person's register, raised concerns about how many other cases might exist.
The report, which said missing persons investigations had been of a "low status and priority" within the police, recommended increasing investigative staff, the creation of a dental and DNA database and a comprehensive review of policies, procedures and practices surrounding the management of missing persons files and unidentified bodies.
The report was released yesterday as State Coroner Graeme Johnstone handed down his finding on the death of Matthew Bibby, 35, a missing father of four who was buried in an unmarked grave at Springvale Cemetery for almost a decade while his family hoped he was still alive.
His inquest last month heard that his body was found by police in the Yarra River four days after he was reported missing in 1996, but was not identified until last year because police failed to enter the details of his body into their database.
