Changing Tides

There is no dental record database. You need a possible identity first before you can obtain dental records to match to a corpse. So where did the M.E. get the possible I.D. from? The team then uses the I.D. to connect to the pilot's business. It should have been the other way around. The team I.D.s the plane with a possible pilot, then the M.E. obtains dental records to match.
