    They were identified comparing their DNA to that of a distant, living relative, of which there are many. They could nto be identified directly because we do not have their DNA already on file. There was nothing to compare their DNA to for a direct match. I believe anthropological forensics also confirms that the bodies found fit the general descriptions of the family members (height, shape of skull, etc)
