I recently interviewed Heather Shtuka, Ryan’s mom for my Podcast, “Can I Help Find Your Missing Loved One?”. In this episode you will hear a personal conversation between us about her missing precious son, Ryan.
Forensic Age Progression Sketch:
I completed Ryan’s forensic age progression sketch to the age of 25 years old, which he would turn on March 17th, 2022. This took approximately 1.5 months to complete, as I feel it is important to take my time as I work on a missing person so I can age appropriate. My most commonly used medium is a 0.7mm led pencil, which is what I used to do this drawing. There isn’t a large gap of time In the years that Ryan has been missing when it comes to age progressing, but enough that it will seen like a lot to his loved ones. As I age progressed Ryan, he looks like a young man now with some facial hair, faint moustache, his bone structure is more pronounced and his chin is more defined. His neck is a little thicker and his Adam’s apple is more apparent. He has broader shoulders and his eyes remain gentle just like they appeared in his earlier photographs. This is a healthy, physically fit forensic age progression sketch of Ryan Shtuka. It is my hope that people will view him as what I feel he would look like at the age of 25.
