In Milwaukee, in an effort to solve cold cases, specifically those in which the victim's identity is unknown, the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's office has started a new program.

They have created composite sketches based on the remains, then created website that features the photo, as well as specific details about the remains... tattoos, etc. Some of the photos of the remains are also posted online. While other cities have similar sites (with composite sketches), Milwaukee and Las Vegas are currently the only 2 places that feature pictures of the actual bodies.

Personally, it makes me a little squeamish, but there have been some positive results.

A news release from the Clark County, Nevada, Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner states that since 2003, when it launched its own website and designated a group of investigators to handle cold cases, it has identified the remains of 30 people. The site says 152 remain to be identified, the oldest case dating back to 1969.
