Locating skeletal elements scattered on the surface of the ground or human remains contained within clandestine graves, continues to be one of the greatest challenges for law enforcement, the military, and human rights organizations worldwide. This is for two reasons: 1) no two scenarios are the same since each scene or location has different taphonomic parameters; and 2) no detection method formerly available is specifically designed to locate human bone or tissue at a distance. This manuscript describes the scientific concepts (the piezoelectric properties of bone and/or unique identifying resonance frequencies found in both living and deceased individuals) used in the development of new technology which was then used to locate a deceased woman who had been missing for 3 to 4 weeks prior. This technology transmits electrical energy through the ground, and because of the crystalline nature of both bone and DNA, allows for the detection of specific human remains using resonance frequencies in the sub KHz range at a distance of many miles.
