It would of course help - but what a lot of people don't know is that the police sketch artist is not allowed to draw anything without the witness/victim present. The artist cannot halfway draw it and then take it home. The police sketch is part of the evidence, because it comes from victim/eyewitness testimony. So, perhaps in this case, the victim could not stay longer. Perhaps the victim broke down emotionally. Once the sketch artist has confirmed w/ the victim that the image is a good representation of the perpetrator, that's good enough. The victim is helping the police - volunteering their time, the police aren't going to keep the victim in the police department and further traumatize the victim. You can see from the sketch that the man had a low forehead and widow's peak hairline. He had very round eyes. That may be enough for an identification to be made by someone who knows that individual. The perp is dangerous, and speed is of the essence.
