One of the biggest missing person's cases in the world has finally been solved. Or, at least, the biggest missing corpse case.

After English King Richard III fell at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 (his death was not a pleasant one) the exact location of his final resting place was lost to history. Then, two years ago, archaeologists found a skeleton that resembled Richard's description under a parking lot. Preliminary reports on DNA provided further evidence that this was the king, but the official findings of the researchers involved in the identification had not been published before today.

In a paper published in the journal Nature Communications, a team of researchers led by Turi King and Kevin Schürer announced that they had officially made a positive identification of Richard III. In order to prove that the skeleton was, in fact, Richard III, King and Schürer used all the tools at their disposal -- from genetics to historical research.
