Storm that drenched San Francisco will only spritz San Diego. His ability to turn witness descriptions of criminals into detailed drawings has landed a number of people in jail. One of his sketches, of a man who robbed a Hotel Circle maid of her jewelry and phone, was such a good likeness that a homicide detective recognized the suspect who walked into a downtown San Diego coffee shop.
Bowen, 41, who grew up in San Diego County, said he has always loved art. For a time he tried to make a living painting murals and window decorations, drawing caricatures and portraits of people and pets.
He also worked in construction, on an ambulance, and at Home Depot, before deciding he wanted a career with more action. He joined the Police Department in I love patrol. With this, I can be involved in bigger things, cases where I can be of use. Bowen got the idea of learning composite sketching about two years ago.
He asked his supervisor, Sgt. Dale Flamand, about classes, but there was no budget for it. Eleven of them have led to arrests, Flamand said. Bowen earned a departmental exceptional performance citation this year for his sketch artist work. Investigators working homicides, robberies, sex crimes and burglaries come to Bowen when they want a sketch.
Recently he separately interviewed two girls, ages 17 and 13, who had been sexually assaulted by the same man hours apart in the northern part of the city. When it comes to criminal composite sketches, they can be eerily accurate or just plain bad.
Composite sketches are often released to the public when there are no photos or footage of the criminals on hand. He murdered his family, including his wife, mother and three children. John List managed to escaped justice for 18 years.
A clay bust was created to give the public an age-enhanced likeness of John List with hopes that someone would recognize the killer after all these years. Canadian serial killer and rapist, Paul Bernardo , looks an awful lot like the composite sketch drawn up based off the description given by one of his victims. Bank robber, Joseph Weir or maybe Joseph Weird would be more appropriate has one of the most unflattering composite sketches we have ever seen.
The eyes look in separate directions while the teeth look like the keys on a busted piano. Still, he was caught and sentenced to over 30 years in prison. The composite sketch looks fairly accurate considering the circumstances.
He has yet to go to trial for the crimes. This time, a homeless man was beaten and set on fire in a well-populated area of Kettner Boulevard. That victim, later identified as year-old Dionicio Derek Vahidy , died in the hospital.
San Diego Police have been looking for new evidence in the case now that a man arrested last week has been released from custody.
Homicide investigators said they had found evidence that led them to determine the man was not a suspect in the crime spree. Homicide investigators want to question a man spotted on store surveillance video near the Morena Boulevard scene. The man purchased a gas can, a gallon of gasoline and a lighter about 15 minutes before De Nardo's body was discovered. Skip to content.
