Recreating a person’s identity from nothing but bones is no easy task. In this episode, Delia learns the science and vision behind the work of a forensic sketch artist and sculptor who’s tasked with giving faces to the dead, missing and unidentified.
“The hardest part of the job is the nature of these cases… Things that make up nightmares…but the reality is like that’s a real human who really went through something really terrible…“
