A suspect for two drug-related homicides is on the loose. The following description has been provided by eyewitnesses:
Suspect is a white male with short brown hair, approximately 180 lbs., missing a finger on his right hand, and wearing a black leather jacket. Officer Garcia has stopped three white males for questioning. Which one of the attributes provided will be most helpful to Garcia in properly identifying the suspect?
Answer The suspect is missing a finger.
The most unique features of a suspect – i.e. birthmarks, disfigurements, tattoos – are the most helpful attributes in identification. After all, there are a lot more 180 lb. white men walking around in black leather jackets than there are ones missing fingers.
