Museum Exhibit Shines Light on 20 Cold Case Homicide Victims

"Facial reconstructions of three bodies exhumed last year by forensic anthropologists in Florida will be featured—along with 17 other John and Jane Does—in a month-long museum exhibit called “The Art of Forensics.
Now in its seventh year, “The Art of Forensics” exhibit at Sulphur Springs Museum & Heritage Center (Tamps, Florida) has helped solve nearly 25 homicide cases and brought more than 140 cases up to “current investigative standards.”
Altogether, 20 unidentified humans who have been nameless for decades will be in the public eye, some for the first time. Designed to identify Does and solve their homicides, the exhibit includes clay sculptures, digital composites, photographs and drawings of each of the victims.
“These individuals have remained unknown for decades. Their faces tell a story about who they were,” said renowned forensic anthropologist Erin Kimmerle. “When you look at the common patterns among victims, the marginalization of certain people and their vulnerabilities become clear. We hope it triggers the memories of those who knew them so that people come forward with new leads. The exhibit is about using art to engage the public, trigger memory and create empathy.”
