Identification of Booth's body

[iva281]

I have a problem with the fact that, for whatever reason(s), the family holds the identity in question, but are refused the right to have the testing done. They should be able to know for certain. The fact that the government, or any other entity says ‘no’ makes me suspicious as well. Personally, I feel that the body is probably Booth’s, but I wouldn’t bet my life on it. Having a background in law enforcement, I have personal knowledge of a few cases where we were told by the “higher ups” to close the cases and keep silent when we knew things weren’t right. This is on a much larger scale. These things DO happen, and I’m just saying that I can understand the family’s request and what I feel is their right to have the testing done. What I don’t understand is the government intervention in this.
