The RCMP says it currently has the unidentified remains of more than 700 people in its national database and it is now turning to a new way of identifying the faces of the missing.
An image from a previous forensic sculpturing workshop at the New York Academy of Art. MONTREAL -- In a renewed effort to identify the remains of 15 people, the RCMP has announced it is partnering with the New York Academy of Art for a project it describes as sui generis.
The RCMP said it has the unidentified remains of more than 700 people in its national database.“Without knowing their identities, it's impossible to return them [to their] home[s],” the force states. The project will use 3D-printed versions of real skulls supplied by the British Columbia Coroners Service and the Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service.
“Academy students will put their anatomical knowledge and artistic skills to work in order to reconstruct each of the faces with clay,” the RCMP explains.
