World-renowned forensic sketch artist Lois Gibson trying to help crack a Texas mystery, hoping a new sketch will provide clues about those who fought in the Alamo.
HOUSTON — Retired Houston Police Department forensic sketch artist Lois Gibson is a living legend in her field. Now, she's on a new mission to make her mark on iconic Texas history.The partial skull with a bullet hole and a heavy blade hack found at the Alamo in 1979 has yet to be identified."They sent them from Montana, Pennsylvania, all over the country," Gibson said."They'd get them ID'd in just a few days.
So, earlier this month, Gibson traveled to San Antonio to see the skull up close. And Gibson did what she does so well. She studied the intricacies of the skull. Each piece of bone provided a clue. In two hours, the Alamo defender had come to life on her canvas. "The opportunity to look into the face of an Alamo participant was one of the most moving moments of my life," White said."I know I'm close," Gibson said."If I can get this guy identified, this is like throwing the touchdown pass at the Super Bowl if you're an artist."
Next, White said they're working on securing DNA testing of the skull. That together with Gibson's sketch could provide enough clues for Alamo descendants to finally identify their relative.And hopefully, solve a Texas mystery 187 years in the making.
