Descrição:

Although the reliability of forensic composite sketches has been highly debated in today's era, the Jacob Wetterling kidnapping investigation was one of the earliest times in U.S history where a police sketch was used. The sketches did not necessarily move the investigation at the time, but many years later in 2015 the sketches helped identify a man who did confess to the original 1989 kidnapping.
