Detectives have released a new composite sketch to
assist in their investigation into a report of a man who approached a child as
she walked to middle school in Immokalee in March and early April.
The Collier County Sheriff’s Office is now
working with FaceLogics, a St. Augustine-based company that creates facial forensics
for law enforcement. The new composite is more customized and offers more
details such as skin tone than the previously released sketch.
