For parents of missing children, a photo of their child as he or she might look today can call up multiple emotions—sadness, anguish, frustration and anger to name a few. But for many, they also bring hope.

Colin McNally, supervisor of the Forensic Imaging Unit at The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in Alexandria, Va., and three forensic artists on staff, have been tasked with creating age-enhanced photos of missing children. The photos can provide essential information in finding missing individuals.
