Mr. Bender was one of the world’s few forensic sculptors. He used art, crime solving, science, archeological reconstruction and intuition as he worked with skulls to render faces as they might have looked in life.

Calling himself a Recomposer of the Decomposed, the FBI, INTERPOL, Scotland Yard and National Geographic archeologists called on him to solve difficult cases, including many cold cases.

And he said, "When it comes down to it, art has to supplement science."

how much a bridge between life and death intuition is.
