Remains of Three From 9/11 Plane Identified

[meuniermr]

NEW YORK (Nov. 2) - Human remains recovered from around the World Trade Center site have been identified as those of a Massachusetts flight attendant killed in the Sept. 11 terror attacks, officials said.
The remains belonged to Karen Martin, Douglas Stone and another man whose family asked that his name not be released, said Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office.
Martin, of Danvers, Mass., was an attendant on American Flight 11 that was hijacked and crashed into the north tower, and Stone, of Dover, N.H., was a passenger.
-This on its face seems to lessen the replacing the planes with flying bombs theory. My devil's advocate says that they could have planted the bones in the manhole if the passengers were removed from the planes and killed someplace else though.

1. Remains suddenly showing up 3 years later does seem a bit suspecious-

especially if no remains from those on the flight had been confirmed before.
It there had been some on the flight confirmed before this would not be big news.
Are there claims that people from the flights had been previously identified?
If so who?
