Cases submitted to NamUs, and investigating agencies ~10 months ago.

I'm adding some older submissions. George went missing on Oct 1989 in Bergenfield, New Jersey, and the unidentified was found on May 1991 in Bronx, NY, only 8 miles away. I created a single 3D mesh from missing George Edward Bastidas' photo, and this unidentified, and then overlaid the single mesh on top of both images, and oriented them. They are a perfect fit, however, the unidentified's nose appears to be broke (maybe from the accident), and therefore is off.

Spoiler: I consider this a mild post-mortem, but because the subject's eyes are open. I put it in a spoiler.

(Disclaimer: Only two reference photos were used. More reference photos would create a more accurate 3D mesh.)
