FBI plans more composite sketches in Wood case
FBI officials say at least one and possibly three more composites of persons seen near U S District Judge John Wood's townhouse the morning he was assassinated may be released. Two sketches show white men in their 20s or 30s in the vicinity. investigators say they are not sure if connected. A photographer in the area who carried a walkie talkie volunteered information, and authorities note another man with a rifle sighting had been reported days earlier. Wood, known for tough drug sentences, was killed by a .243-caliber shot. another West Texas narcotics case figure was ambushed seven months earlier, prompting questions of a possible connection.
