Researcher in Report on Search for Slain Prime Minister’s Remains

Marcella Sorg, a UMaine forensic anthropologist, was noted in an Associated Press report posted on the Fox News website about the search for the remains of Maurice Bishop, a Marxist prime minister of Grenada who was gunned down in 1983 by a firing squad. According to the AP, Sorg led an international team that spent two weeks in May excavating part of a cemetery in Grenada. The team found bones in an unmarked grave, but not those of Bishop.
