Hey Guys, :)
Sorry if a thread of the same topic already exists. I ran a search and found nothing and didn't particularly want to wade through 60 pages of topics going right back to the year 2000.
I noticed a thread the other day of scary UM photos of Criminals and Victims alike.
For me pretty much every composite sketch they showed during the Son of Sam segment freaked me out. I was only 12 when I saw this in '89. Have since watched this segment again on YouTube and it's still spooky.
Blind River Reststop Shooting composite was also scary, I just watched this again on YouTube yesterday. It almost looks like a real photo.
Another composite sketch that scared me was the case (In Florida I think) where a young woman was conned by a couple and later found decapitated in a swamp area. The Male suspect tried accessing the victims saving/funds in Drag and the composite was of this freak in drag! :eek:
Does anyone else here have any scary composites they'd like the add?

I always thought that was a freaky looking sketch. Shoot I thought the actor portraying this person in the segment was kinda freakish looking. :lol:

Debbie's attacker
Son of Sam (all 5 of them) the 5th was the creepiest.

All of those sketches were scary. I'd say they're all tied for second, with number 1 being the North Carolina hit and run guy.

I second the NC hit and run guy. He looked REALLY weird. Another one I always found unnerving (I don't know why...it just looked odd to me) was L'il Miss Panasoffkee's sketch. I can't explain why...I just don't like seeing that one...

Ok, I've just watched another UM Episode on YouTube with a REALLY scary composite. The Wacker Case - An elderly Ohio couple who have been the victims of harrassing phonecalls, burglaries, written threats left on their porch, the wife has been attacked twice. All this has been going on since 1984. The scary thing is none of the neighbours seem to have witnessed anything. The wife allowed an unknown assailant to use their phone before she was attacked the first time, hence the composite.
Does anyone here have an update on this case? The entire family did a stakeout of the place yet the person(s) responsible were still able to leave a threatening message on the front doorstep without being detected. :(

The sketches of "Sam" and "Alice", aka Elaine Parent, who killed Beverly McGowan.

The sketch of Michaela Garecht's abductor takes the cake in this category.

My vote goes to the Connecticut River Valley Killer (NH Serial Killer) sketch, hands down.
A few other scary sketches:
- Roxanne Jeeves' and Kristopher Korper's killer and the woman accompanying him
- Jack Brown's killers
- The man suspected of abducting Alicia Showalter-Reynolds
- The "ski cap" sketch from the Son of Sam shootings
- Megadeth guy from the Debra Poe case
- Stanley Gryziec's killers
- Megan Curl's murderer AND the "person of interest" in the cowboy hat
- Dorothy Donovan's killer
- Dick Hansen's murderer
- Wadada
- The suspicious man seen lurking around Molly Bish's place of employment
And I have no idea why, as they're both in sunglasses and are probably the least descriptive sketches I've ever seen (besides the Lester Garnier suspect sketches and the Boston Mall Rapist), but I thought the Roger Wheeler murder suspect sketches were pretty bad. Probably because of that awful music they played when they showed them, though.

They never figured it out. Bill Wacker died in 1999 supposedly. But the strange activity stopped long before he died

The Canadian Reststop Murders
Wadada
The Unidentified woman in the New Orleans serial murders (that one just jumped out and scared me)
Michaela Garecht's case scared the crap out of me in general along with the sketch.
The Connecticut River Valley Murders. I grew up in the area it happened, and I still have family there. The sketch was scary.
The case where Henry Rollins was the witness to his friends murder was scary. Henry still talks about that briefly when he does his one man shows.

I don't remember a "sketch" of Alice but Sam was scary. Amazing how Parent pulled that off. Clever evil bitch.

Blind River Reststop Shooting composite was also scary, I just watched this again on YouTube yesterday. It almost looks like a real photo.
Yes I agree. This was one of the creepier ones IMO :eek:
I would also like to add the NH Serial Killer aswell, man he looked creepy :eek: Also, I remember I was really freaked out by the Mickey and Trudy Thompson hitmen and The Las Cruces Robbers/killers sketches was a kid :eek:
Eeek, this is gonna give me nightmares tonight... :lol:

Honestly, I think the actor looks scarier then the sketch. Compare:

Bill died 09 July 1999, according to the SSDi Death Index. It's made-up, IMO, but I just might be a cold-hearted skeptic.
On another note, that composite doesn't look scary at all:

Hey egswanso :)
How do you post Screen Caps of those composites? I tried the whole Right Click and save thing on YouTube but it's not working.
That "Wacker episode composite" really does freak me out, although it was Night when I watched the Episode on YouTube.
:eek:

Print screen function when it's at the picture you want, then paste into a paint program and crop as needed.

I've mentioned this before, but the Wacker suspect sketch looks almost exactly like my father did as a teenager. For that reason it's never really bothered me--that and the circumstances of the case, but that's already been hashed more times than is logical in another thread.

That's funny. There was one story, and for the life of me I can't remember at all which one it was that showed two composites of two separate women. The first looked just like my sister and the latter, a younger version of my mother. I was watching it with my sister and she was quite freaked out.

Hands down, the Blind River rest stop killer.
However, the New Orleans prostitute killer is a close second.
Third place goes to the sketch of Matthew Chase's acquaintance as drawn from the ATM photo.
But sometimes, just the way they are portrayed (when they are shown, the music used, the use of the "zoom", and Stack's description, as well as the nature of the crime) make them more creepy than they really are. Take for example Debbie's attacker - which they showed three separate times. On the first one, after describing the crime and the damage done to Debbie, and showing her but with her face obstructed while lying in a hospital bed writing notes for the police officer, the scene shifts to the composite set in front of that marble background, and RS says, "working with her, a police artist created this drawing". Then follows five seconds of eerie silence. The second time they showed it, RS gave the description of the assailant. And then, just in case the viewer was not yet freaked out enough, they show the "Wanted" poster containing the composite right at the end, with RS adding, "police have physical evidence that will enable them to make a positive identification should a suspect be located". Then comes the "if you have any information ..." while the picture shrinks to the upper portion of the screen as the toll free number appears on the bottom. Crrrreeeeeeepyyyyyyy!!!

The NC hit and run redneck punk is HANDS DOWN number 1. Hes the ugliest looking dude Ive ever seen in an artist sketch by far.

Yeah, I didn't give him his due props.
I bet if you polled the people here, the NC hit and run guy and the Blind River killer would be the top two.
We should let this thread go a bit more, then gather the top four and do a poll.

The NH killer composite looks very cold - like the face of a person who has no feelings at all. I have to look away from this one.

The composites of the victims of the Ohio serial prostitute case are a tad frightening as well.

The WADADA Case - I couldn't watch it properly as it was in Spanish on YouTube, However was able to see the scary as hell composite :(

I wish we could have a composite sketch gallerie cause honestly I never felt they were scary, just hilarious or very generic. I dont even remember less than half of the ones you guys are talking about, but I wanna see!

I thought the sketches in the Michael Johnson and Rochelle Robinson murders were pretty creepy.
I can't be sure if the psychic was correct with her sketches, but weird nontheless.

The suspect in the Don Smith murder.
The suspects in the Stanley Grysiec case.

Anyone else think the Wacker;s sketch looks like Ben MacKenzie of "Southland"? LOL!!
Would be a perfect casting if they made the Wackers movie.

Haha, they are still creepy although I do think the guy on the left and the guy on the right are the same guy. It depends on who makes the composite I guess. Some insist on the 'creepy' look.

Yes, they are the same person as these are composites for the I-70 killer.

I don't agree it's for that reason.
There were no standardized method to trace or draw composites at a time when it wasn't made by computer, so it depends on the particular artist's school, technique, or talent.
Even nowadays, with computer, it still heavily depends on the software being used.

And special mention to Ann Sigmin's composite sketches during the update on the murder of her husband with Garey Goff. Especially the eyes on those drawings. :eek:
