Breast implant serial numbers used to identify murder victim

By at 10:57 pm Monday, Aug 24

The body of a mutilated murder-victim was positively identified by matching the serial numbers on her breast-implants:
Fiore's body was found last Saturday in a Dumpster behind an apartment complex in Buena Park, just outside Anaheim, California. Her teeth had been extracted and fingers removed in what police said was an apparent attempt to conceal her identity.

Law enforcement sources have told CNN that Fiore was identified through the serial numbers on her breast implants.
