| Abstract: |
|
A serial rapist was recently apprehended after his computerized facial portrait was created and subsequently identified by a police source. The facial composite compiled by Sergeant Major Ronen Levy, a Jerusalem forensic field technician, was, according to the witness, extremely similar to her attacker. During further interrogation of the suspect, similar attacks and numerous house break-ins around the capital were also uncovered.
The ability to produce an accurate facial composite is due in part to the descriptive capacity and memory of the eyewitness, as well as to the artistic and graphic skills of the forensic technician.
