In search of a lost princess

Description

In 1918, the Tzar and his family were massacred, victims of the Russian Revolution. Since then rumors and popular belief have it that two of the Tzar's children escaped the slaughter; maybe his son Alexei and one of his daughters. DNA testing of bones, facial reconstruction and other forensic techniques have been used in an attempt to establish the identity of a woman living in South Africa. Was she Anastasia or Maria or not related at all to the Tzar?
