Pod: Interview — PJ Puterbaugh
Forensic art solves mysteries with a mixture of science, art, and care
PJ Puterbaugh’s skills exist at the intersection of art and science.
Working as a painter and portraitist, years ago she found herself utilizing her abilities to help people by becoming a forensic artist. This meant certifying with the International Association for Identification (IAI) and becoming a Certified Forensic Artist.
PJ works by assisting various law enforcement agencies with John and Jane Doe images and skull-to-face reconstructions. The same methods can also apply to museum and historical projects. Her work for medical examiners and cold case investigators bridges forensic science, creative visualization, and multimedia storytelling to bring human faces to life with accuracy and impact. She has helped law enforcement identify various victims and close years-old cold cases.
We also have our “Discoveries of the Week,” which are quite toothy.
