A unique partnership between the RCMP and the New York Academy of Art has put faces to the unidentified remains of 15 people.

“We are really hoping that somebody is identified and that we can bring them home,” Cpl. Charity Sampson with the RCMP National Centre for Missing Persons and Unidentified Remains told CTV News Toronto on Tuesday.

The RCMP said it currently has unidentified remains of more than 700 people in its national database. The RCMP provided the academy with 3D printed versions of real male skulls located between 1972 and 2019 for a forensic sculpture workshop. The skulls were chosen for the initiative because they had fully enacted craniums and mandibles.

During the week of Jan. 6, the students used their anatomical knowledge and artistic skills to reconstruct each of the 15 faces with clay. “There is a science to it, there is measurements, they go by the bones and the face and over the five days personalities just developed, it was incredible to watch,” Sampson said.
