Search for Chile's Disappeared to Finally Move Forward Under New National Effort
- Chile is launching a national search plan for hundreds of missing people from the Pinochet dictatorship.
- The plan will centralize and digitize judicial case files and archives, and finance excavations.
- Previous efforts were left to surviving families rather than the government.
- Other countries recovering remains of the disappeared have had mixed success.
- Finding and identifying victims could take time and require help from former agents.
