There are several photographs circulating online right now purporting to show the full, unmasked face of Renee Good’s killer. These photos are, as far as I’m aware, all AI-generated.
Please do not share these photos.
Remember that, as with all gen AI, it is answering the question “What would be statistically plausible here?” It’s not showing you the •killer’s• face. It’s showing you •a• face that fits with the what we know of the killer’s face.

Generative AI can’t magically reveal otherwise unknown truths. AI doesn’t have any idea what the lower half of the killer’s face looks, no more than my students knew what my unmasked face looked like.
What AI •can• do is generate a random plausible face that really looks like a face. It might even look like the face of a real person — a random, innocent person.
Sharing AI-generated unmasking photos is dangerous.
