Forensic Art
Skeletal remains can be the last chance a victim has to tell police investigators and family what happened to them.
There are three main techniques in forensic art: Composite Drawing (using witness testimony to construct a drawing of a suspect); Postmortem Drawing (drawing of a person after death, where tissue is mostly intact and because showing a photograph to the viewing public would be inappropriate); and Facial Reconstruction from Skeletal Remains (sculpture or drawing created from ME records, evidence and reconstruction techniques, where tissue is mostly gone or only skull exists).
