The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has presented the facial approximations of unidentified individuals from across the Commonwealth at previous press conferences.
Forensic anthropologists and artists with the FBI's Forensic Anthropology Services and Forensic Imaging Unit constructed the facial approximations.
Photographs of the facial approximations have been entered into the case files of the National Missing and Unidentified Persons Systems (NamUs). NamUs is a web-based computer search engine funded by the National Institute of Justice to facilitate matching missing and unidentified persons.
