In Canada, ground penetrating radar can help to locate "anomalies" in soil that indicate possible graves of First Nations children who died at residential schools. The method does not identify actual bodies, only anomalies in the soil that could represent graves. Then further research and investigation are necessary to determine if they are graves.
