00:00:00
what characteristics can you identify and predict eye color is the easiest because it's almost 100% genetic and
00:00:08
then probably hair color skin color and freckling and then face shape you have helped close cases you have helped find
00:00:17
killers absolutely we have helped solve quite a number of cases so you really can change
00:00:22
the way these investigations are conducted right and that's why why detectives are coming to us because they
00:00:29
need this information we're able to give them an objective description of the person that they're looking for and
00:00:35
especially allow them to eliminate people who really don't match that description
00:00:46
if this is what you think the guy looked like it at age 25 how do you know what he looks like today generally as we age
00:00:55
you know we're gaining a little bit of weight you know we can look for some cases to see if there's any signature
00:01:01
for balding can you take me through your your thought process and your process in
00:01:06
aging this guy it's the first thing I do if it's nature aggression is kind of wide in the face a little bit to
00:01:12
indicate that he's gained some weight and I kind of want to add some bags under his eyes some gels this is a sort
00:01:19
of instant aging how do you decide what the hair style and the hair color will be and so with the hair color we know
00:01:28
what the DNA prediction was for and you know we we know that you know people generally tend to tend to get gray hair
00:01:35
over time but you know for instance that he's not going to be bald because the DNA is told you he's not going to be
00:01:40
bald I think we had a little bit of a the indication he might be and nothing real strong strong so I gave him a
00:01:49
little bit of a receding hairline and that's what you believe he looks like today or it could look like today yeah
00:01:56
this is really we look at as a possibility that you know add a little bit of age some wrinkles some weight so
00:02:03
there's a little there's an art to this if you will yeah and there's there's wiggle room and we explained to the
00:02:09
detectives that it's it should be looked at very similar to a hand drawn composite sketch that that we're not
00:02:14
giving them a photograph of their person the images come to capsulate those most
00:02:20
likely predictions for this person and it's meant to kind of give you a feel of what the person may look like
