The Chief Medical Examiner of Virginia is asking for the public's help to identify several sets of skeletal remains.

Facial approximations were released Tuesday of eight unidentified people who were found dead between 1972 and 2014.

Officials say the remains belong to five men and three women.

"We hope that be presenting the facial approximations to the public, someone will recognize one of these individuals as their long lost loved one," said Chief Medical Examiner William Gormley, PhD, MD. "We're working with local law enforcement authorities to help identify these individuals, and we encourage anyone with information that may lead to identifying these individuals profiled to contact us."

Three of the sets of remains were found in Stafford County between 1990 and 1998.

Two were found in Caroline County in 1988.

One each was found in Henrico, James City and York counties in 2014, 1976 and 1972 respectively.

Photographs of the facial approximations, constructed by forensic anthropologists and artists with the FBI's Forensic Anthropology Services and Forensic Imagine Unit, have been entered in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons Systems, funded by the National Institute of Justice.

There are currently 283 unidentified people across Virginia, and some of those remains date back to the 1960s.

Anyone with information on the identities of any of the individuals is asked to call 804-786-3174
