She has just been awarded with a notation in the Guinness Book of World Records for the highest crime solving rate based on composite sketches. The day of this photograph is november 22nd, 1963. John Fitzgerald Kennedy has just been shot in Dealey Plaza, and there are three men who are being arrested by Dallas Police officers. They have been termed to be "the three tramps."
Chauncey Holt, Charles Frederick Rogers, and Charles Harrelson.

I attended the ASK conference at which Ms. Gibson offered a lengthy presentation of her work which, if memory serves, focused on the Charles Rogers/"Frenchy" comparison.
Here's the problem: Have Ms. Gibson's methods of reconstruction been blind-tested? Has she been given the skull of an individual unknown to her but familiar to and photographed by others and asked to work her magic on it?
If so, were the tests rigorously and scientifically controlled and evaluated?
If so, how did she fare?
Until verifiable results are in, I'm not buying.
