Have you ever seen those police reconstructions? They never once actually look like the person. I'll say it again, they can't even get it right on people we know what they looked like. The human skull has very little differences person to person. You can tell if they had some diseases and such IF you an get dna from it. But what someone looked like accurately? Not a chance

Here’s a quick case study of positively ID’ed bodies by family members

You seem to be just running off your opinion that its totally inaccurate, when its obviously accurate enough for family members to recognize loved ones through reconstruction

"facial sculpturing techniques has been widely criticized by forensic scientists for its lack of scientific reproduction of the final product and for its low statistical success rates"

Lack of reproducibility has nothing to with the fidelity that you’re talking about and the entire article goes on to defend the practice against those criticisms

Way to tell me you read until you met the first thing that reconfirmed your opinions

If you want high fidelity in forensics, you def don’t want to hear about bite mark or shoe print analysis
