I know this has been discussed a bit on previous threads, but I wanted to share this link on Parabon phenotyping. Since there's been a bit of back and forth between 'the sketch created with help from witnesses', and 'there were no witnesses', I figure that Parabon phenotyping is still, possibly, the way LE came up with the BG sketch. All speculation.
Here's a link of testimonials from investigators who have successfully used Parabon Snapshot technology to further their investigations.

Here are a few examples from the link:

I still feel like the "there were no witnesses" statement was in regards to the actual crime. "Did anyone see it happen?" "No. Nobody witnessed the crime as it occurred." (That kind of reasoning in his answer.)
I don't believe they made up the witness and were dishonest about how they got the sketch. They said it was a real witness and I am going with that.
"It relates to a dialogue between a witness and a sketch artist," he said. "Thats based upon an actual, real situation."

It wasn't just that they said the sketch was provided by witnesses, LE also went on to speak about why it had taken the witness so long to come forward.
Riley said fear may have played a role in the witness decision not to come forward sooner with a description of the suspect.
People are scared. Theyre scared to be recognized by the subject. It just takes a while for these things to happen, he said.
