Episode 49 Interview with 'Sketch Cop' Michael W. Streed

For years, the composite sketch of the Zodiac Killer, created with the help of teenage witnesses who saw the killer from across the street at the scene of Paul Stine's murder, has been largely shrouded in mystery. Many people have wondered what the process was in creating the sketch, and what things in the sketch might be accurate or off to some degree. In this episode, special guest Michael W. Streed, known worldwide as 'Sketch Cop' due to his accomplished background as a police sketch artist, helps breakdown details of the sketch, and walks listeners through the process of creating composite sketches. He explains the techniques used in gathering the information from eyewitnesses and transferring it to the sketch in an effort to help solve cases.
