    it doesn’t mean much that the smile looks the same, the snitch called specifically because he thought he looked the same. if anything it makes it less likely, because it was really unlikely for those smile pictures to be of the right guy, he wouldn’t have been walking around wearing the same outfit but slightly different the next day

    also he’s posting about investment opportunities…?

    i really get the feeling this was going to be a copycat with a different ideology

      the copycat idea fits a lot of inconsistencies here, but the resemblance is pretty strong. I don’t know what to think rn

        It’s too strong a coincidence that the picture of the smiling suspect who everyone though was not the real killer also happens to be a copycat. Maybe the cops circulated that picture after finding a guy to pin this on but I dunno, just seems too elaborate for the NYPD.

        The delay, deny, depose engravings don’t seem like they’d be written by someone with this dude’s ideology but shrug-outta-hecks

          well I’d imagine they immediately churned the image they had through every facial recognition program they could across their whole database of ID photographs etc, so finding a similar-looking patsy is not the biggest hurdle

          I think that picture went out too soon for it to be a situation where the detectives had already concluded the case was unsolvable and they need to go find a warm body to throw in prison to save face.
