That first one is thingy, the actor. Not the one that played god in that film, the one that was in one of the Die Hard films, the one with the gold.
Not a clue who #2 and #4 are, but #3 looks like hoozit, the bomber, the one with the thumb (without the thumb?). In Speed. Wasn't he in Apocalypse Now as well?

And that's the point. Those four pictures don't look anything like the four actual people used as models.

kinda egglike
Ma'm, anything unusual about the face?

Ma'm, anything else?
he wore glasses...and beady eyes
Ma'm, you sure?

When the police release one of these "composite drawings" to the media, they are hoping that someone who knows the suspect will see the picture, recognize that it's a picture of their
friendno good brother-in-law, and turn him in. The research paper cited in the blog you posted makes it pretty clear that the police are hoping in vain :-/Reply 8 years ago
Yes, it seems so. :-(
