LYTTON, B.C. — The case of unidentified human remains discovered in Lytton in 2016 could have new light shed on it thanks to a project between the RCMP and the New York Academy of Art.

This January, students at the academy reconstructed 15 faces of Canadian unidentified human remains.

As part of the forensic sculpture workshop, they applied clay directly to 3D-printed replicas of the real skulls.

One of those faces includes a man discovered in Lytton on March 9, 2016, in a wooded area near an old landing strip. Police believe he was roughly 25 to 40 years old at the time of his death, and say he had good dental work.
