UsingDNA technology, Mesa police investigators have come up with a composite of a man in a Mesa sexual assault who has been at large since early January, police said. <\/p>\n

Snapshot composites are scientific approximations of appearance based on DNA and are not likely to be exact replicas of appearance, police said. <\/p>\n
