More than three weeks after devastating floods and landslides in Nepal, a forensic expert warns that some of the more than 6,000 people reported missing may never be found. The warning comes as recovery and identification efforts continue following what multiple outlets describe as one of the worst natural disasters in years.

Both reports emphasize the scale of the missing list and the practical challenges faced by teams searching in affected areas. With ongoing efforts to locate victims and determine identities, officials and experts are still working to reduce uncertainty around deaths and disappearances. While the outlets focus on the same expert assessment, they do not provide conflicting figures or new major developments beyond the continuing uncertainty for families.

Overall, the coverage aligns on the timing after the disaster and the grim prospect that recovery may not reach every missing person.
