Chapter 17, Problem 20P

In $1918$, the Russian Tsar Nicholas $\text{II}$ was deposed, and he and his family were reportedly executed and buried in a shallow grave. During this chaotic time, rumors abounded that the youngest daughter, Anastasia, had escaped. In $1920$, a woman in Germany claimed to be Anastasia. In $1979$, remains were recovered for the tsar, his wife (the Tsarina Alexandra), and three of their children, but not Anastasia. How would you evaluate the claim of the woman in Germany?
