Don’t you think the 2005 assault victim would’ve recalled those big-ass lips?
I imagine his big assed lips were not her primary concern. For the victim of a brutal rape to recall anything as accurately as the sketch depicts is astounding. It does suggest full lips, just not bulged out a la moue. My guess is the drawing program had no “dirigible” option in the lips menu.
If you break down the sketch and suspect’s photos into the critical elements — eye shape, eyebrows, head shape, forehead, hairline, ear shape, beard and mustache line, nose shape and nostrils, and yes, lips — every piece matches. But only God can make a tree, or a monster.
