Now this is really freaky! At the bottom of this last section is the composite sketch of the Mystery Woman that was with McKinney before his murder. This sketch seems to be very blurry compared to the newspaper version that was circulated surprisingly but what it does show is a taller view. Where it seemed like the newspaper version cut off the sketch at the bottom. The description here seems to hint also at a plain necklace she wore the night with McKinney with no further description of the necklace but this blurry composite seems to show some type of necklace around her. Unless I’m seeing things. What is not very clear and I can’t tell if there is a heart shape ornament to that necklace at the bottom (Bright point at very bottom – peak of heart possibly?) but if it’s really there this is very significant, I believe. Some of you probably know what I’m referring to. I’m not going into anymore detail at this point but since there are others viewing and noticing things would like to know if a further description of this necklace is any where else in the the docs. Or perhaps a better print of the sketch that shows this necklace more clearly in detail.
Looking further into it with photoshop and doing a zoom in that area it’s unclear if there is a heart connected to the necklace. Surely it’s very faint if it’s even there and perhaps a possibility was that the artist started to put that detail in and maybe tried to remove it. It was my understanding that the waitress at Landmarks was under hypnosis when this sketch was being directed to an artist to make and maybe fluctuations were made on the fly. Went and looked further at the old newspaper clipping as well with this same sketch and although the image is sharper in the face and hair, the actual detail of the necklace can hardly be seen at all like it was removed or partly erased for the final newspaper release.
I remember the sketch of Mark left at the Busch murder scene was first making it’s rounds on the news and it created quite a stir as people thought there were initials hidden in the sketch including myself. I guess we were all wrong on that one so it’s easy to get carried away with this stuff.
In document group #6, there is a redacted note that someone on 12/19/77 deliberately was trying to control the results of his polygraph. When you go back to document group #5, there is a report that on 12/19/77, George Chrest was the man who threw the polygraph. It’s also interesting that John was allegedly killed between 6-9pm, and George Chrest claims that he drove by the gallery at that time but didn’t stop to see John. He doesn’t have a solid alibi from 6-10pm the night McKinney was killed. This is despite the fact the whole reason he drove from NC to MI was to see McKinney. Also, I swear I remember reading from the Cory Williams reports someone in the Cass Corridor talking about a George “Christ”…. Does anyone else have info about the Cass George Christ ?
Good memory on your part. You did read about “George Christ” in Cory’s report. It was in his notes of 1-12-2006. The document (nov-2005-jan-2006.pdf), mentions him on pages 36-37. Several different spellings, but actual name appears to be George W. Ghrist.
There may be other notes on him in this or other reports, but this is all I see now.

I am assuming you are comparing this image in the FOIA document to the image in the link below that was posted a while ago.

The link image has no heart, and barely shows a necklace at all. Or, as you say, has been partially erased.
Some interesting observations….
