NEW YORK — New York City officials say a renewed search this year of debris in and around the World Trade Center site has recovered 72 human remains.

The sifting of more than 800 cubic yards of debris recovered from ground zero and underneath roads around the lower Manhattan site began in April and ended Friday.

The greatest number of remains — 37 — were found from material underneath West Street, a highway on the west side of ground zero. The new debris was uncovered as construction work made new parts of the site accessible.

The city began a renewed search for human remains in 2006. More than 1,800 remains have been found.

Some have been matched to previously unidentified Sept. 11 victims.

Then, Minneapolis Alyssa had her wages garnished for a child that wasn’t her own. Turns out, she had been paying for New York Alyssa’s child. New York Alyssa cleared up the confusion in court after the two ladies of the same names talked over the phone.

“Basically she thought I took her number and I thought she took my number,” Minneapolis Alyssa said.
