Episode notes
Sketch Led To Rapid Arrest In Officer Shooting
- Lois Gibson recounts drawing a sketch for Officer Paul Deason after a brutal shooting.
- Her sketch led to the suspect's arrest three days later, illustrating sketch power in investigations.
Share Sketches But Emphasize Core Features
- Put composite features in circulation but caution the public about variable details like facial hair.
- James Fitzgerald advises focusing on core facial features while allowing for changes in appearance.
