This pair of sketches provided by the San Francisco Police Department, Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2019, shows what a serial killer might look like now in a cold case involving at least five stabbing deaths of gay men in the mid-1970s in San Francisco.

It's one of several cases being re-examined after the capture last year of the &quot;Golden State Killer&quot; through DNA analysis. (San Francisco Police Department via AP)
