Well, John Philpin, Amy Fairfield, and a guy named Greg McCrary, an FBI profiler with 25 years experience under his belt, all independently believe that Briggs' case matches the MO of the Connecticut River Valley Killer.

We'll discuss why her murder fits the pattern more generally, but it was April, Heidi Martin's sister, who saw the composite sketch in the Jessica Briggs case and said it was the spitting image of her father.

Composite sketches are tricky. I'm reminded of the sketch done from Jane Borowski's Memory of Her Attack in 1988. Today, Jane would tell you not to put a lot of stock in it. A composite sketch is usually done by essentially flipping through a book of facial features. But Jane was intubated, and she would blink once for yes and twice for no.

Likewise, there's a lot of context for the sketch done in the Briggs case. So this murder occurred in 1989. Anthony Sanborn was put on trial in 1992. But it wasn't until 2017 that the investigating officer in the Briggs case, Jeff Daniels, found an unlawfully stored box of notes in his home attic. In this box was the composite sketch in question.

It was never released publicly, and Sanborn's defense team back in 92 never even saw it. Amy Fairfield told 13WGME that it, quote, does not match what Tony Sanborn looked like in May 1989. So this sketch is the product of no less than 10 witnesses who saw Jessica Briggs walking with an unknown man. Jessica was 16 and lived a rather troubled life.

She had recently run away from the youth home in Portland and was staying with her friend Gloria. She roamed the city streets at night with gaggles of other lost kids, herding from one party to the next, down to the pier, to Peppermint Park, and back again. Some say she would offer sex for money here and there, but she wasn't doing it a lot.

But that May, Jessica decided to get her life straightened out. She got a job as a busser at DeMillo's, a restaurant out on the Long Wharf. She had dated Anthony Sanborn for a brief time that spring, but they broke up in April. Amicably, everyone says. The night of May 23, 1989, Jessica finished her shift at DeMillo's by 10.12 p.m.

and started off walking home to Gloria's apartment on Sherman Street. And this was a little over a mile away. Along her route, she ran into a few friends on Congress Street, a Sean D., Michelle F., and Brian B. Brian snapped a photo of Michelle and Jessica. It would be the last photo anyone ever took of Jessica alive. She arrived at the Sherman Street apartment by about 10.35 p.m.

She cooked and ate a meal of macaroni and cheese. Then she changed from her work clothes into a black, sleeveless dress, stockings, and black heels. She put one earring in her ear and a red comb in her hair. Over this, she put on a denim jacket and rolled up the sleeves. Jessica went out the door but quickly ran back inside to get something. A butcher knife from the kitchen.

Her friend Gloria says she nicknamed it Butchie and said it was for protection. Jessica told Gloria that she was going to her new boyfriend George's house, who lived down on India Street near the waterfront. She left for George's around midnight, but she never made it there.
