So who or where is Anastasia?

The Tsar and his family were shot, but also bayonetted. Following this, they were tossed down a well and had acid toured all over them. Some time later (weeks?, months?) the bodies were pulled out of the well and then hacked into pieces and buried. Considering all the stuff that happened to the bodies, it doesn't suprise me that some pieces were missing.

The woman Anna Anderson who claimed to be The Grand Duchess Anastasia was proven to be a hoax in the late 20th century. There was a piece of her tissue in some pathologists lab, and after her death they used this tissue for DNA testing against that of the Prince Phillip (Queen Elizabeth's husband), because he had a very close maternal descent from Anastasia's grandmother. The result proved to be no match, which put an end to that particular mystery.
