The premises of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen argument for their claim that quantum mechanics is an incomplete theory are inconsistent when applied to three-particle systems in entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states. However, thus far there is no experimental confirmation for existence of such states. We propose a technique to obtain Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states which rests upon an observation that when a single particle from two independent entangled pairs is detected in a manner such that it is impossible to determine from which pair the single came, the remaining three particles become entangled.
