A rail platform becomes a lab to identify 6,000 bodies sent from Russia
Advertisement The bodies are just a fraction of the more than 70,000 people in Ukraine, both military personnel and civilians, who have been listed as 'missing under special circumstances,' the legal designation for those who have disappeared during more than three years of war. The first remains arrived in Ukraine in June. A conveyor-belt-like process at a railway station in the Odesa region in southern Ukraine is intended to speed up identification, bypassing traditional autopsies in morgues, which are already overloaded. Six teams in total carry out forensic work under a section of the platform shaded by camouflage netting stretched to block the searing summer sun. Each team includes a police investigator, a forensic technician, a pathologist, an intelligence officer, and a sanitation worker. Advertisement 'We are the first in Ukraine to organize this kind of work,' said Tetyana Papizh, the head of the regional forensic bureau. The bodies are moved from station to station in a process that takes about 20 to 30 minutes for each. Workers check for explosive materials, document any personal items found with the remains, and take samples for DNA testing. When possible, the teams perform fingerprinting using a technique in which fingers are soaked in water heated close to boiling, then injected with cold water to restore fingerprints. The bodies receive 17-digit identification numbers, encoding the date of arrival, the institution that received the body, and an individual sequence number. Documents, tags, jewelry, or scraps of clothing retrieved from the bodies can help in identification. If any are found, a technician photographs them, bags them separately, and places them back with the remains in a new body bag. 'Personal items are extremely important,' said Andriy Shelep, a senior police investigator working on crimes committed during the war. 'Some families don't trust DNA results. They won't accept death. They believe their loved one is still in captivity. But when they see the recovered items, the doubt is gone.' Tension from working with the dead is unspoken but present in every movement on the railway platform, where the air was thick with the smell of decay. Ruslana Klymenko, 27, a pathologist, leaned over a half-decomposed body. Stains from body fluids had penetrated multiple layers of her protective suit. On her head, she had tied two pink ribbons, the only bright element in a dim scene under the camouflage nets. 'Lower jaw is missing,' she said to an investigator, who documented the finding. Advertisement Every few minutes, another white bag was laid out on the table and opened. What looked like rags and dirt inside may be putrefied tissue. In an exchange last month with Russia, which is to receive an equal number of bodies, 1,600 remains were sent to the location in the Odesa region. An additional 1,000 bodies arrived in Ukraine on Tuesday. The Russian news media have not reported widely on the return of Russian bodies, mentioning only several shipments of a few dozen sets of remains. Identification of all 6,000 remains may take more than a year, according to the country's internal affairs minister, Ihor Klymenko. The process is complicated, he said, by the fact that some body bags contain parts of more than one person. Among those who had awaited the return of a loved one was Tetyana Dmytrenko of Kyiv, the capital. Her husband, Oleksandr Dmytrenko, was killed at age 45 along with all others in his unit on Nov. 15, 2023, near Bakhmut, she said. Russian forces took control of the area, and recovery of the bodies was not possible. 'All I had left was his last text message — 'I love you,'' Dmytrenko said. 'Then came a year and eight months of waiting, of not knowing, that was worse than hell.' On June 23, Dmytrenko received a call from a police investigator who told her that DNA from one of the returned bodies matched that of Maryna, their 21-year-old daughter. Dmytrenko visited a morgue for the formal identification, though she said there was nothing left to recognize. She remembers her husband telling her that his greatest fear was dying in battle and never being recovered. 'Now I have peace in knowing that he is home,' she said.

Crypto's biggest sleuth has 10 shocking questions on hacks
In an industry plagued by thefts and scams, one anonymous figure has emerged as the crypto world's most relentless investigator: ZachXBT. Often described as a "blockchain detective," he's not part of law enforcement or any official regulator — yet his impact has rivaled them all. With nothing more than an internet connection and raw tenacity, he's tracked down hundreds of millions in stolen assets and exposed countless scammers, grifters, and hackers. ZachXBT is filling a vacuum that most governments and crypto companies are either unwilling or unable to address. Operating anonymously across Telegram, X, and blockchain explorer tools, he's become the last hope for victims — and the worst nightmare for fraudsters. The 10-point wake-up call This week, ZachXBT released a scathing message in a private Telegram group — not targeting one hack or individual, but the entire broken system. In a series of 10 questions, he laid out how law enforcement, crypto exchanges, and the justice system repeatedly fail victims of theft. Each question hit like a gut punch: What happens when >95% of law enforcement (LE) is not competent enough to trace a basic theft and seize frozen funds from centralized platforms? What happens when a victim is located in one jurisdiction but the perpetrator is in a different uncooperative jurisidiction? What happens when the perpetrator is a minor so LE chooses to not pursue further? What happens when teams and exchanges are not willing to collaborate with the private sector? What happens when a victim cannot pursue litigation to recover frozen funds because retaining a firm costs more than the amount stolen? What happens when offshore exchanges have jurisidictional uncertainty due to regulatory arbitrage and refuse to honor court orders? What happens when a major publicized incident occurs but a stablecoin issuer requires an impossible ask of a court order within minutes in order to blacklist? What happens when founders profit millions in fees from laundering stolen funds and then refuse to return them as they flex record user metrics on X? What happens if the government makes KYC mandatory for Defi but companies with breaches of sensitive PII are never held liable? What happens when the legal system can be easily abused with incomplete tracing due to outdated laws rather than facts? What happens when thefts From victim to vigilante ZachXBT started as a scam victim himself — losing money in the early days of crypto. But instead of rage-quitting the space, he started investigating. He began posting meticulous threads exposing influencers running rug pulls, tracing stolen coins across blockchain wallets, and even collaborating with law enforcement in high-profile investigations. Despite his anonymity, his reach is enormous. Exchanges now take his alerts seriously. Victims turn to him before they even file police reports. And hackers often go silent after he posts — knowing he's already two steps ahead. His work has even led to arrests and fund recoveries. But he rarely celebrates — instead, he uses each win as fuel to highlight how rare accountability still is in this space. Crypto hacks surge in 2025 The crypto industry is under siege in 2025, with over $2.17 billion stolen so far this year — already surpassing the total losses of 2024. According to the latest Chainalysis Crypto Crime Report, the most devastating incident came from North Korea's $1.5 billion ByBit hack, the largest crypto theft in history. But beyond the headline-grabbing breaches, another alarming trend is quietly exploding: personal wallet compromises now account for 23.35% of stolen funds — a growing share that signals a shift in attacker strategy. Criminals are targeting individuals over institutions, capitalizing on lax personal security and jurisdictional dead zones. More than $8.5 billion in stolen funds from individuals remains untouched on-chain. Chainalysis warns that violent 'wrench attacks' — where attackers physically coerce victims into giving up keys — are also on the rise and correlate with Bitcoin price spikes. As digital wealth increases, so does physical vulnerability. Meanwhile, launderers are getting smarter. Funds stolen from services are laundered using chain hopping, mixers, and bridges, often at premiums as high as 14.5x the average transaction fee — all to outrun detection. In contrast, many personal wallet hackers simply park the stolen assets on-chain, confident they won't be traced. Geographically, the U.S., Germany, and Russia lead in number of victims, while Eastern Europe, MENA, and CSAO show the fastest growth in new cases. The report also highlights the jurisdictional gridlock that stops law enforcement from acting — especially for thefts under $100K, cross-border crimes, and minors as perpetrators.

U.S. Rep. Vasquez backs laws for gun storage, social media during meeting with police
U.S. Rep. Gabe Vasquez met with Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina on Aug. 20, 2025 at the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office headquarters in Albuquerque. (Photo by Austin Fisher / Source NM) In a wide-ranging conversation on Wednesday with police leaders from central New Mexico about local public safety issues, U.S. Rep. Gabe Vasquez (D-N.M.) said he wants to make it a federal crime to not safely store firearms around children and wants to regulate social media use that encourages violence. Vasquez also discussed his efforts to boost funding for local law enforcement needs versus immigration enforcement. At the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office headquarters in downtown Albuquerque, law enforcement officials raised their own concerns regarding local public safety issues. For instance, Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina told Vasquez the area's biggest problem is providing treatment to unhoused people for substance use disorders and other mental health diagnoses, and suggested he find more funding for the city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County's existing mental health facilities. He also said the problem won't improve until local courts can process more of the cases against the people police arrest. He said 'all they could ever process' would be approximately a quarter of all arrests in the county. 'They can't be prosecuted,' Medina said. 'And it's unfortunate: The most likely cases that are going to be dumped are involving individuals with mental health concerns or substance abuse problems.' In Valencia County south of Albuquerque, officers are seeing a lot of unhoused New Mexicans who are dealing with behavioral health and substance use disorders coming from across the state and exiting off the Rail Runner commuter line's last stop in Belen, according to Belen Interim Police Chief Adam Keck. 'There's nothing really they're doing,' Keck told Vasquez. 'Maybe yelling and going crazy but they're not really disturbing or committing a crime at all.' Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen and New Mexico State Police Chief Troy Weisler repeatedly brought up crime they say young people are committing using firearms and driving getaway vehicles on behalf of criminal gangs. Vasquez asked where young people are obtaining guns, and Medina said both children and adults are stealing guns from vehicles and selling them on social media platforms. Weisler said the guns are sold on Telegram. At the same time, Medina said most of the stolen guns' owners are not reporting when the thefts happen. Vasquez said he supports federal legislation called Ethan's Law that would set standards for safe gun storage and give states incentives to create and implement safe gun storage laws. New Mexico in 2023 made it a misdemeanor to negligently allow a minor to access a firearm that they then use to harm themselves or others. 'It's your duty and responsibility to report a stolen firearm because you know that it's probably going to be used in a crime,' Vasquez said. 'Nobody steals your .22 to go rabbit hunting.' The congressman told attendees his staff will look into regulating social media use that promotes criminal activity on services like Telegram and Signal. Vasquez also said Wednesday he wants to put 'parameters' on the $170 billion allocated in the 'big beautiful bill' for President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, including nearly $30 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Vasquez said Congress gave the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, 'a blank check,' and he is working on legislation, which he has not introduced yet, that would place limits on how the agency spends the money. 'We're going to advocate that it be used for public safety at the local level,' he said. Asked for more detail about the future legislation, Communications Director Delaney Wehn would only tell Source that Vasquez's office has 'big news set to drop next Monday.' 'I can't share what it is yet but it's national news,' Wehn said in a text message. Medina referenced the possibility of the federal government withholding funding from Albuquerque, which was singled out earlier this month by the U.S. Department of Justice as New Mexico's sole so-called 'sanctuary' jurisdiction. U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi said the federal government would bring litigation and other penalties against cities, states and other jurisdictions with such policies. 'We will have grant funding withheld from us,' Medina said. 'It will get tied up in the courts, and eventually it will work its way to where I'm confident we'll get it but in the interim, we're going to lose funding that we use each and every year to assist our officers.'
