Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Reconstruction compared with photograph of Green River victim Gail Mathews.
Author or copyright owner	Multiple
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	http://ww1.hdnux.com/photos/24/51/76/5414796/3/628x471.jpg and http://www.members.tripod.com/~VanessaWest/gmathews.jpg
Date of publication	1980s
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Forensic facial reconstruction
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	To illustrate the differences between a facial reconstruction and the actual decedent. The image represents one of the problems with facial reconstruction, as it mainly illustrates the general shape and positions of certain features. This comparison of Ms. Mathews' reconstruction is one of the few that greatly represent such an issue.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Most forensic reconstructions are copyrighted. Because forensic facial reconstruction has been used for this purpose for the last few decades, there is not likely a free reconstruction to go along with a free image of a decedent.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The image will be used only on its related article
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	n.a.
