UF forensic specialist reflects on his work in Haiti after the earthquake

It has been six months since a 7-point magnitude earthquake struck Haiti and destroyed the capital city. Associate Director of the Maples Center for Forensic Medicine, Jason Byrd, went to Haiti four days after the earthquake with the Disaster Mortuary Operations Response Team to help recover and identify bodies. Byrd talked with WUFT’s Lisa Stengel.
