Frank Bender was an amazing forensic artist. He had a lot of talent and used it in a lot of ways. Some of his best work is facial reconstruction. His face busts helped solve cases for some of the biggest organizations in the world including the FBI and Americas Most Wanted. He helped solve the case of John Emil List by creating a bust to try to recreate what List's face would look like 15 year on the run. His bust ended up helping finding list in Denver.  He basically reinvented sculpting for forensic science. His busts are some of the best sculpting to this day and it helped solve some key cases.

Bender was a commercial photographer before he made busts. His love for anatomy eventually led him to discovering his talent.

He used his talent for displays and museums, too. He made lots of watercolors, sculptures, pastels and monuments. He used these art pieces not only to solve cases but also to express himself.

His incredible studies and discoveries helped solve lots of mysteries in a case. He was able to find a missing piece in a case with his knowledge on anatomy and the human body. In one case he helped find the identity of a burn victim. They took his skull and he made a bust of what his face was likely to look like before he burned. This ended up solving the case. In another case he used the decomposed body of a girl found in a basement to identify who it was. Once again, Bender solved the case.
