-Flat, slender nose vs. Pointy, bulbous nose
-Slender chin vs. Broad jaw
-Vertical facial structure vs. Horizontal facial structure
-JJD's ears are too big for the moonie surfer's general head structure
-If we are here comparing the recent mugshot to that sketch, the degree of similarity between lips can't be decided. Based on other photos of JJD, it seems that he may have slightly fuller lips than what is the impression given by moonie surfer's lips. The lips could be similar enough because they are generic, but having only the lips match isn't enough
-Area of eyes could also be similar enough, and especially the effect of the stare which is the strongest and the most compelling similarity
-Additionally, moonie surfer sketch was always painting a picture of a blonde, light skinned guy - whereas JJD seems to have somewhat "darker" hair and complexion
I'd say the resemblance is weak, with the exception of the effect of the stare.
But the revised Maggiore, in turn, is very good. At least when put side-by-side with that particular photo. Most of the facial characteristics and ratios have high correspondence between the photo and the composite, right down to the facial expression of that contemptuous smirk. But ironically, in turn, the eyes don't have the same effect and so they differ. The eyes of the revised Maggiore composite are too friendly and relaxed (based on this comparison), as opposed to dark stare of JJD in that photo.
That's how I seem to perceive it
Head has to do with ears due to the symmetric ratios, and that's why the ear characteristics can be estimated based on the rest of the face, to some degree. It doesn't matter if the hair was actually a wig, because were are now evaluating the validity of those composites in retrospect. My evaluation includes the effect the sketch had, the impression it gave then. Did you think it was a wig before you knew about DeAngelo? I doubt that. The composite nevertheless served to mislead, even if we now in retrospect thought we saw the resemblance and considered the hair to have been a wig. You don't mention the nose at the center of the face. JJD looks Italic and the moonie surfer looks Scandinavian, to put it roughly.
Anyway, I don't see that. Maybe it's my subjective interpretation.
