Police in Maryland have generated a facial composite of a suspect using DNA evidence obtained after he allegedly broke into the same woman's home, twice, and raped her, WJLA reports. The same suspect broke into four other homes, according to Montgomery County Police, and committed the same crime four additional times. No arrest has been made in the seven years since the first crime occurred, prompting police to consult DNA-phenotyping company Parabon NanoLabs. The lab used the suspect's DNA, obtained from the first two instances of rape, to create a facial image predicting his traits. The lab's composite indicates a black male of western African-descent with dark brown eyes and black hair. Editor's Note: At the IAPP's Navigate event in 2013, Heather Dewey-Hagborg spoke about her work using DNA as a catalyst for art and how it can be used to create portraits of the DNA owners.
