Unabomber Composite Sketch


















Classic. This is the best composite sketch ever released by the FBI. In a 1996 press release "FBI officials said they are no longer interested in releasing a sketch of the Unabomber without sunglasses, and one veteran artist said that such a drawing could be harmful to the investigation." That's because this sketch is totally awesome, why would they need another one? I always thought when they pulled him out of his shack out in the middle of nowhere they should have adorned him with the trademark sunglasses and hooded sweatshirt. The interview after the capture might have gone something like this:

"So Special Agent Utah, how exactlly were you able to apprehend the suspect?”

"Initially we used various surveillance and canvassing techniques as part of our strategy to identify potential terrorists. But our big break came when my partner, Special Agent Rodriguez saw the suspect in the 7-Eleven parking lot wearing a hooded sweatshirt and excessively large sunglasses, that's when we followed him back to this shack in the middle of nowhere and were able to make the capture."
