An update to the analysis of composite drawings in the OCCK case

Six months ago I posted the work of a reader who had compiled the various composite drawings that populated the OCCK files, with analysis.

A 28,000-word novel?

The reader has updated the document and new information has been added in green-colored text.   It is compelling.

OCCK Composites and Timelines_V2

On page 4 the reader speculates that composites 11-15 could be the additional men that were arrested in Flint in January or February, 1977.  This includes Busch as possible #11, since this image is in the FOIA document (OCCK MSP p. 308 of 3369, BLK 00355) along side Busch’s incident report and mug shot.

There is a new slide (#5) that refers to Operation ESP and some new psychic composites.  This operation began August 8, 1977.  A report was completed by out-of-town people and they left Michigan on August 19, 1977.  The reader observes that maybe it’s just a coincidence, but this was happening during the Greg Greene mug shot on August 17, 1977 (if it really is 1977).

I agree with the reader’s further observations, as follows.  That there is a distinct possibility that many, if not all of these composites seem to be an attempt by the MSP to portray the appearance of these men based upon the story they wanted the public to believe.  And, perhaps, to sway the public towards looking for anybody that resembles someone other than Busch and Greene.  While there are some possible close resemblance to some of the known suspects (like Busch, Greene and Hastings), maybe this was done to scare them.  As if to tell them “we know who you are.”

This week another reader and I exchanged emails about the Busch and Greene mugshots and similar suspect sketch discrepancies.   And I have to tell you, based on these exchanges, I have renewed and sickening concerns over the actions of the Birmingham PD, circa 1977-78.  I’m talking at the top of the food chain there, but a small department like that–they all knew.   That department that already had a track record of dissuading parents from filing reports on the fat fuck for things like indecent exposure and worse.  He’s the son of a big wig–“there’s nothing we can do.”  They dropped the ball before Patterson and Burgess stepped on their necks.  Kids were not safe in that town before my brother was abducted.

You really cannot believe some of the amazing work people send me concerning this case.  It involves anything from deep background on many of the suspects and their family members, to timelines, interactive link analyses, geolocation coordinates, AI analysis, and these composite sketch comparisons and evaluations.  Most ask me not to post it or ask me to curate it.

It really helps if I can post this kind of work with the author’s evaluation and comments.  Please, please respond here in the comments rather than by email.  Let’s compare notes here for a change.

Thanks very much to the reader and to those who comment below.
