Steve McCurry's Afghan girl found

This may be ancient news to many of you, but it is one of the most powerful set of portraits that I have seen in a long time.

Remember Steve McCurry's iconic picture of a green-eyed Afghan girl, hair covered in a red shawl, that made it to the cover of National Geographic around seventeen years ago?

Well, Steve went back again and again until he found her. Iris scanning proves that it really is her, and the pictures are (still) powerful.

Has anybody else done similar before and after studies??
