What is a Forensic Facial Reconstruction?
Facial Reconstructions, also called Facial Approximations, are drawings or sculptures completed by trained forensic artists
The forensic artist is called in by an investigating agency (either Law Enforcement or Coroner/Medical Examiner) when an unidentified deceased person's facial features are no longer recognizable due to decomposition or trauma
How do facial reconstructions help?
Every unidentified deceased person is someone's missing loved one
A facial reconstruction can assist investigating agencies by providing an image of the person that can be released to the public along with case information
The goal is to provide an image that closely resembles how the person appeared in life, and to prompt recognition with a family member or friend
The Process of Facial Reconstruction
The forensic artist is provided case information that may include:
Photos, anthropology reports, odontology (dental) reports Information about clothing found with the person (especially clothing
sizes) Approximate age, sex, height, hair length and hair color, and possible
ancestry The forensic artist may examine and photograph the remains in order to document unique features that can assist in estimating the person's appearance
3D Facial Reconstruction
When a facial reconstruction sculpture is created, it starts with a 3D scan of the skull and mandible (lower jaw)
The digital file created from the scan can then be used to create a digital sculpture or can be printed in plastic using a 3D printer for a clay sculpture
