Picture Puzzle Aids in Criminal Identification

Richmond police technician George Meyer has developed a new criminal identification method that uses a picture puzzle "rogue's gallery." This technique aims to simplify the victim's description process by allowing them to pick out recognizable features from Meyer's collection and piece them together, rather than struggling to find words. This visual approach is shown to be more effective than traditional eyewitness verbal descriptions, which often result in contradictory details. The success of Meyer's system has attracted the attention of other police departments.
