It's all the work of New Jersey State Police Forensic Anthropologist Donna Fontana, whose work has been featured on "America's Most Wanted" and elsewhere.
Late last week, Fontana issued a revised report on the 38- to 48-year-old man, whose naked body washed up on July 21, 2008.
Authorities also issued a photo of a distinguishing mark – a tattoo on his left chest that says "Lyniol,” “Lynios” or “Lynias.”
He was also missing most of his teeth before he died, the report says.
