Say what you want, but the facial reconstruction is just plain cool. I think the 3-D image is much better than the portraits. Plus the fact that it confirm the artists’ works.

I love that kind of thing. I love the one guy that does reconstructions in the U.S. for missing persons. He did it for that famous killer they featured on America's Most Wanted. Oh geez, trying to think of both of their names. The killer's name would probably come to me sooner. Murdered his family in CT in 60's or 70's and started a new life. Anyway, the guy that does them has a 6th sense about it.

Found it: John List was the murderer.

America's Most Wanted, John List

When cops saw List, they were shocked. He looked exactly like Frank Bender's bust -- right down to the glasses.

Frank Bender

Wow, through You Tube found out Frank Bender had/has Stage 4 lung cancer as of 2011. I wonder if he's still alive.

Yep, Frank Bender died in 2011.

Francis Augustus “Frank” Bender (June 16, 1941 – July 28, 2011) was a world-renowned autodidact forensic artist and fine artist. He made facial reconstructions of the dead based on their skeletons, and of fugitives based on out of date photographs, with his reconstructions showing how they might look in the present day.
