They can't give anything pictures if they don't know who the body belongs to

No, these reconstructions are done by forensic artists, not AI and they're most often used in canvassing for information, basically hoping someone sees the reconstruction and recognizes them.

The forensic science is doing experiments on real dead bodies. I can’t remember what they call it, but the people who donate their bodies to science, are worked on by different departments. They watch in real time how long it takes for a body to decompose under different circumstances, and they go from there with their discoveries. They can come quite close to what a person might look. It’s not perfect, but it’s something.
