Around 500 people attended, including families of patients that Juan had treated over the years as a pediatrician.

About four months into the investigation, law enforcement's case was at a standstill.

Leads had dried up and witnesses from the crime scenes were unable to remember any additional details about the suspect, despite undergoing hypnosis at law enforcement's request.

The hypnosis sessions, though, did contribute to a second suspect sketch being made.

About a month after the second sketch came out, a third one was created, which was even more unique than the first two.

That third image came as a result of Raymond Barrow's undergoing hypnosis, and he dictated his recollection of the assailant's appearance.

But according to Raymond's daughter, Annie, that image was a bit more intense looking.

The suspect had very bushy eyebrows and more accentuated hair texture.

She believes that the ongoing nightmares her dad was experiencing after the crime caused him to provide an exaggerated description of the perpetrator's features.

She personally doesn't think the later sketch her dad helped with is as accurate as the first or second one, simply because her dad's memory was likely sharper and less tainted at the start of the investigation versus several months later.

I've posted a link of all the suspect sketches in the blog post for this episode, so take a look because you'll see what I mean about them all kind of looking a little bit different.

For the creation of the third sketch, the victim's family members had hired a private investigator from Tampa to help Raymond develop the image.

It wasn't a sketch that law enforcement had requested be done or that the police department felt was even very accurate.

The then-police chief of Holmes Beach actually told Bradenton Herald writer Christine Wolfe that he thought the third sketch might actually hurt the case more than help if a perpetrator ever was caught.

He said, quote, End quote.

It seemed that the chief didn't really feel comfortable distributing the third sketch because he believed the second one was the most accurate.

Tension between the police department and the family's investigator went on like this for a while.

The P.I.

lamented to the press that the authorities had refused to cooperate with his staff and check out people they'd found who looked like the sketches.

And the police claimed that they had looked into the people the P.I.
