[edit] Information
Did Romanov Princess Anastasia survive a Bolshevik firing squad or did she and her brother Crown Prince Alexis perish with their father, Tsar Nicholas II, before another firing squad in 1918? Ninety years ago this month, the murky circumstances of the Russian czar's murder started a mystery about whether any of his family escaped alive. The case stretches back to the Russian revolution of 1917, which ushered in more than 70 years of communist rule. The czar, his wife, their five children and four attendants had been detained in the midst of the revolution. On July 17, 1918, they were reportedly gunned down in the city of Yekaterinburg in the Ural Mountains. Because the bodies were never found, rumors persisted that some family members survived. Several women over the years have claimed to be Anastasia. In 1992, the remains of nine bodies were found in a mass grave in Siberia, and identified as Czar Nicholas, his wife, the attendants and three of the five children. But the bodies of two children remained missing, fueling the mystery. In 2007, a discovery of human remains in a Siberian forest solved one of the world's greatest mysteries - the fate of the Romanov children. A Russian archaeologist used the chief executioner's memoir to locate a grave about 200 feet from the original site. The site contained 44 bone fragments. The chance find of human remains in a Siberian forest brings forensic anthropologist Dr.Anthony Falsetti to in search of the truth. Marshalling DNA, ballistics and the very latest forensic analysis, an international team works to dispel the greatest myth of the 20th century and tell a real story more remarkable than any fiction. Produced & Directed by Ian Denyer ; Bellweather Media, LLC Production in association with National Geographic Television
