Abstract
On the afternoon of October 23rd, 2009, I had just returned home from picking up the mail and receiving my Fall 2009 copy of the Chesapeake Examiner. There it was - the cover story about the efforts of historian Silvia Pettem and the Boulder County, Colorado, Sheriff's Office to identify a young woman found murdered in a remote river canyon almost 55 years before. As I pondered what I knew about the depths of the investigation and efforts of so many these past 5 years to identify this victim and return her to her family, I reflected on the silent figure sculpted by Vidocq Society founder and renowned forensic artist Frank Bender (figure 1).
