Sorry to keep bumping this but I find this both interesting and frustrating I can't find more information on this especially given the unique circumstances regarding this UID. Does anyone have any speculation on who he might be/who might have killed him?

U.S. police ask sculptor to reconstruct face on bullet-riddled skull

SOMERSET, Pa. (AP) - A well-dressed man with expensive dental work was shot several times in the head and dumped in a remote area of western Pennsylvania, near the Maryland state line. The man's bones and bullet-riddled skull were discovered in late 1995, but Pennsylvania state police have been unable to identify him. Reconstructions by an Erie anthropologist and police artists in Toronto produced no clues.

So state police have turned to a Philadelphia sculptor who eschews fancy computer imaging technology, preferring instead to carefully examine the topography of old bones.

"I do it the old-fashioned way - close observation of the skull itself," said Frank Bender, who said he's been reconstructing faces from skulls since 1976.
Bender said his reconstructions result in positive identifications about 85 per cent of the time, and said his best successes have come in work for the state police. He's also reconstructed faces for U.S. marshals, Interpol and America?s Most Wanted, the television show about unsolved crimes. Investigators hope Bender scores again. They have few other clues to pursue.

"He supposedly has a very successful rate of solving these crimes. He measures the skull and sculpts what he feels is a recreation of what the person looked like," Trooper Jeffrey Brock said.
Brock unveiled Bender's bust on Friday, putting another face on the bones discovered by loggers in an isolated area of Lower Turkeyfoot Township, near the Somerset County town of Scullton about 15 kilometres north of the Maryland state line.

Dennis Dirkmaat, a forensic anthropologist at Mercyhurst College in Erie, speculated the man's remains were in the woods a year or more before they were discovered in November 1995. Dirkmaat, who helped police survey the site where the bones were found, further speculated that the man may have been killed in a gangland-style shooting. Police said they can't be sure where the man was killed.

The bones were dressed in tan Genuine Country Road slacks made in Australia; a short-sleeved, light-coloured Clairborne button-down shirt; a Clairborne sweater; an Italian calfskin belt; and a gold chain with crucifix. The skull had several bullet holes and an elaborate cast Vitallium horseshoe palate partial plate. The plate was made about a year before the man's death, replacing nine missing teeth, which police believe were knocked out by a severe blow some length of time before the dental work.

The facial reconstruction suggests the man was 30 to 50 years old, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing between 155 and 170 pounds. A problem in identifying the remains is the broad span of possible ages, Trooper Brock said. But he figured one more image of what the man might have looked like can't hurt, even though he's gotten no leads since composite reconstructions by Dirkmaat and artists with Toronto police were released three years ago.

"We're at a stalemate," Brock said. "Without identification, we're sitting still."
