http://www.wavy.com/dpp/news/local_news/re...missing-persons Reconstructed faces of missing persons Updated: Friday, 22 Apr 2011, 7:15 PM EDT Published : Friday, 22 Apr 2011, 7:15 PM EDT HAMPTON ROADS, Va. (WAVY) - Within the Virginia Medical Examiner's Office, there are more than 200 unidentified people. Using state-of-the-art technology, WAVY.com got a look at the reconstructed faces of three of those missing people found in Hampton Roads. "People always talk about having skeletons in their closets. Well, I'm here to tell you, I have 220 skeletons in my closet, literally," said Dr. Leah Bush, Chief Medical Examiner of Virginia. Bush is trying to identify three of those skeletons. Using what the FBI refers to as "facial approximations" software, investigators are able to reconstruct the faces of what was once nothing more than a bare skull producing life-like clay models from the skeletal remains of missing persons. "They use some digital media to scan the skull. They make a reproduction of the skull with a plastic model. Then actually apply the clay to that model," said Bush. One of the models is a facial approximation of a young man found more than six years ago in a wooded area of Accomack County. "Just outside the town of Painter over on the Eastern Shore. This was a wooded area directly behind a labor camp. Typically this labor camp only is filled from April to about October," said Lt. Gerald Goga with the Accomack Sheriff's Office. Using the latest DNA analysis technology, investigators can tell us more about the man than just how he looked. "From the forensic evidence that's been determined, this individual appears to be 17 to 23 years of age and of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity," said Larry Hill with the Virginia Department of Health. The second man's remains were found in August of 1996 at an abandoned cinder block factory on Randolph Street in Portsmouth. "The remains are of an African American male between 17 to 23 years old," said Hill. The third face was reconstructed from the remains of a woman found in April of 1992 in Newport News. "And this individual was found April 7, 1992 adjacent to a warehouse at 231 Enterprise Drive," said Hill. The woman is believed to have been between 35 and 50 years old at the time of her death. The Medical Examiner's Office set up a number to call anyone has information that might identify the three missing persons. That number is (757) 683-8366. There is also a special website for families of missing persons at www.namus.gov . |
