Three more people have been confirmed as victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, which killed more almost 2,700 almost 24 years ago, New York City officials said Thursday.

The newly identified victims are Ryan Fitzgerald, of Floral Park, New York; Barbara Keating, of Palm Springs, California; and a woman whose name is being withheld at her family’s request, New York’s mayor and chief medical examiner announced.

The chief medical examiner’s office identified them through “family outreach and advanced DNA analysis,” the officials said.

“Nearly 25 years after the disaster at the World Trade Center, our commitment to identify the missing and return them to their loved ones stands as strong as ever,” the chief medical examiner, Dr. Jason Graham, said in a statement.

The three are the 1,651st, 1,652nd and 1,653rd victims identified in the attacks and the first to be identified since last year, Graham and Mayor Eric Adams said.
