  • The LSU FACES (Forensics Anthropology and Computer Enhancement Services) Laboratory is a Laboratory that offers computer-aided facial reconstruction techniques using human skulls to generate busts of missing persons in order to jog someone's memory and provide information about the details of a crime or that perspon's whereabouts. There are also computer-aided age progression techniques used for missing children and adults to aid in visual recongition. The lab also uses clay to create facial reconstructions based on the study of human remains (using models of skulls and tissue depth markers), and conducts training seminars for law enforcement personnel.

  • The LSU FACES (Forensics Anthropology and Computer Enhancement Services) Laboratory is a Laboratory that offers computer-aided facial reconstruction techniques using human skulls to generate busts of missing persons in order to jog someone's memory and provide information about the details of a crime or that perspon's whereabouts. There are also computer-aided age progression techniques used for missing children and adults to aid in visual recongition. The lab also uses clay to create facial reconstructions based on the study of human remains (using models of skulls and tissue depth markers), and conducts training seminars for law enforcement personnel. Law enforcement agencies (including the FBI) regularly come to FACES director Mary Manheim and her staff to locate missing people. The FACES lab is one of eight Model Age Progression Sites (MAPS) associated with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and was the first lab recognized as a MAPS site at a university.
