Through Art and Forensics, Students Give Unknown Victims an Identity
By COREY KILGANNONJAN. 20, 2015

Anyone who walked into Room 501 at the New York Academy of Art in TriBeCa the other day would have seen a roomful of sculpture students molding clay into faces that looked nearly alive.
But the people represented by the sculptures had all met ugly deaths and were found as skeletons in desolate places across New York City — train tracks, wooded areas, in a basement.
Most of the bodies bore various violent clues, including dismemberment, bullets to the head and other blunt force trauma, the instructor, Joe Mullins, told the art students. The bodies all had one thing in common.
“They lost their identity,” said Mr. Mullins, a forensic imaging specialist. “We’re going to give it back to them.”

For this class, each student was given a skull — a replica made by the medical examiner’s office of each victim — and a block of clay to sculpt a face. The students were told to incorporate whatever information investigators recorded in finding and examining the skeleton, including estimates of the victim’s age and height, maybe a hair type or style, and possible clothing sizes.
Some cases came with additional clues, like a young man believed to be Hispanic who was found in 2004 wrapped in a blanket near the Jackie Robinson Parkway with strands of hair with his remains. There was also a young woman believed to be black who was found in Jamaica Bay in 1991 and who had two gold teeth.

This John Doe is not forgotten.

Fascinating article with photos of the students and their reconstructive work on the replica skulls at link.

#IDENTIFIED!
“Thank you for the work you did that allowed my family to put an ending to our story of pain. In identifying him and reclaiming him our family has come back together in a way we have not been able to do since his disappearance. Thank you for giving us this important relief. I bless you and your family and thank you so much for helping us to have the closure that we need…”

*Quote from the family to Marco Paoli, student at the New York Academy of Art taught by forensic artist Joe Mullins.
