It is easily the most recognizable composite ever drawn, however, for all its exposure,
Theodore Kaczynski was identified by his brother who recognized Kaczynski's writing.

She later filed a copyright infringement suit on her drawing.

Polly Klaas murder was widely distributed, but when the killer,Richard Allen Davis , was arrested for drunken driving nineteen days later, the officers didn't recognize him from Boylan's composite. The actual identification came from a palm print and the identification of Polly's clothes.

Timothy McVeigh in the case of theOklahoma City bombing . The profile drawing of John Doe #2, sketched by Boylan, and the original composite of John Doe #2 did not lead to identification.

Carolina that murdered her two young sons on October 25, 1994, initially provided a profile composite sketch for the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) forensic artist,Roy Paschal . Paschal felt she was being deceptive in the composite drawing and reported his misgivings to his department. Although Boylan flew to South Carolina, she did not interview Susan Smith nor draw a composite on the case.
