Does anyone else think the NYPD photos of the UHC CEO shooting suspect don’t match?

I guess the happy hostel guy would have come forward and been like “WTF?” and “I have an alibi” if it wasn’t him?

I sure as fuck wouldn't. I know enough not to come anywhere near the police if they're scrutinizing me for any reason, even if I know 100% I'm innocent and I can prove it. You absolutely cannot trust them not to just arrest you and railroad you into a bullshit conviction anyway, or plant some evidence, or decide "he had a knife" and just outright kill you. You know how they say "anything you say can be used against you?" That's because they absolutely won't use it to help you, even if you're not guilty of anything.

I am positive city hall is breathing down the NYPD's neck real hard right now. The entire department has got a lot of egg on its face for not being able to stop this guy, not being able to positively identify this guy, hell, not even know with any certainty where he went afterwards. They are under immense pressure to hang somebody -- anybody -- over this because they're looking even more like chumps than usual.

So no, a wise man would not expose himself to the cops in any way whatsoever.

CNN and others just put the photos out without verification. No official photos have been released. CNN even said as much in their article

Definately 7' 8" female. Asian descent. Bald. Possible Alopecia. Dwarfism.

Have we ruled out the CEO being a crisis actor?

Doesn't look like anything to me.

Feel free to upload more pictures claiming to be him that aren't, post them to Reddit, send them to the news claiming to be from an official source.

Protect your folk heros America.

Backpack & jacket type AND color are all different. The other dude even has his hood from a hoodie beneath the jacket while the first one has his hood from his jacket. Facially also completely different. I guess the NYPD has reached Reddit doxxing levels now.

The clothing color could be due to lighting. Remember the blue black dress meme? Multiple backpacks is too easy. So that's a non-issue.

That being said. Why isn't anyone considering that maybe the cops couldn't give a shit either. But they have to try because the money people said so.

Reminder even facial-recognition softwares & Geo-Location data HAVE made errors that put innocent people in jail

Everyone keeps saying look at this photo of the suspect. All I see is an image that won’t load.

Weird.

I keep seeing the backpack as not matching, I don’t get how these are considered the same person, unless is going to be the next blue-black white-gold thing.

Different bag. Different jacket.

Wow. Dark haired male in dark hooded jacket and back pack. Rare. I see slightly less than 30 such most days.

NYC cops are dumb as hell.

These are not the same person. They fit the description, and where near the scene. Police would want to talk to both regardless.

I was curious when I was hearing the police chatter saying the suspect was wearing a "cream-coloured" jacket, when in the assassination footage it's pretty undeniably black or a dark colour at least.

The first back pack is white. The second one is very dark white almost black. The first jacket has white buttons, the second jacket has dark white buttons almost black. The first jacket has buttons, the second one looks like a special kind of button where the buttons on one side intermesh with the buttons on the otherwise in a zigzag pattern... I bet those have a name like zigzaper or zigper, who knows.

Yeah the shooter had something more like a rain jacket. But he may have put on the rain jacket that he wasn't wearing earlier when going out to shoot the guy. Backpack is different, but that may have been stashed in the park.

But what seems odd to me is that this whole thing was obviously premeditated, but a guy that's intent on murder is smiling and chatting up the receptionist? I guess that's possible, but something that further suggests that it's a different dude.

We really only have the top half of the faces looking somewhat similar in a couple of grainy images. It's plausible it's the same guy, but given the information we have, it's more likely not. But we don't have all the information, so who knows?

Smiling guy is a patsy they'll try to hang for this to help other CEOs sleep peacefully on their second yachts at night after a long day of forcing 5 day a week return to office mandates for overworked employees with "leadership" emails sent remotely from Saint-Tropez.

Weird thing is, neither of these photos has the guy... they already know the man responsible for this and many other deaths, his name was Brian Thompson.

Someone needs to paint some eyes in the pocket flaps and post it as a meme on the police website to just rub it in how fucking off they are on something so obvious.

These all look like different people with photos from different places at different times of the day. Probably their AI matched them and the coppers just had a quick glance, then put them on this panel.

Honestly, I doubt the person who shot him would actually be mad at being caught. He might've started a movement.

Clearly five different people.

Im very faceblind, but hes more broad shouldered in the right pics that Im not seeing in the left pics. Also, whats going on with that cheekbone in top right pic and why dont you see it in any other pics?

auto white balance in cheap digital video camera changes color appearances dramatically in different types of light bulbs

that would be my first guess/answer

edit: nevermind

I thought I saw that these pictures were taken on different days and the guy on the right has been tagged as a "person of interest" and not officially a "suspect"

The assassin looks like he is wearing a black windbreaker style jacket and the other guy looks like he is wearing a cream colored dickies jean jacket with the grey hood like you get from walmart

They will find someone that roughly fits the description and he won't make it to jail alive... Case closed nothing to see here... Or something entirely different may happen..

Well I'm terrible at this game because all 4 of those look like different people

How do they explain the bag changing colors?

It might be time to start smashing all the security cameras.

The nose I can go either way on. It looks "different" to me but wearing a mask and not grinning makes a huge difference there (it is why you are told to not smile for ID photos). The eyebrows are more a function of angle and resolution as you can see some darkness on the left (and he is obviously scowling and not flirting with a cute desk girl).

As for the jacket and backpack? Too lazy to look up the backpack models (people figured it out) but the one on the left looks small enough to fit in the one on the right. So he has his backpack for travel and then a smaller one full of gun and snacks and whatever else for the stakeout.

I guess the happy hostel guy would have come forward and been like “WTF?” and “I have an alibi” if it wasn’t him?

Never talk to the cops without a lawyer and NEVER voluntarily talk to them.

Also? The cops are going to find SOMEONE in the next week or so. And you can be damned sure they are going to take advantage of all of the news and social media about how this is a skilled hitman fighting for the loss of a loved one who WILL NOT BE TAKEN ALIVE. They'll corner whoever they can pin it on, shoot them a few times, and then plant a gun and call it a day.

These are all different people, and two of the images look fake.

It's not even the same jacket, obviously. You can spend 10 seconds and find 10 other differences.

I feel like this is all viral marketing for that jacket because it looks very warm and I want one

I’m thinking they’re gonna arrest Timothy Chalamet any moment now

I thought the same thing. They have more video footage and we are seeing only 2 stills from it, but the coats are definitely different. But the hostel footage was from when he was checking in days earlier than the day of the shooting.

Maybe they used decoys to throw off the investigation

Looks like a generic male, although the ladies say he is good looking.

Looks like nobody saw nothing in NYC tho lol

I hope it's not the whole gold/blue dress thing all over again.

However, I read in another post one might just be someone they want to question to get to the master assassin.

If they are the same person they may have two jackets that are very similar but slightly different and two different backpacks. Someone on top of opsec or paranoid having lots of easily changeable looks would make sense. Although ideally you would want different colored jackets. It could also be that the camera quality isn't good enough for the details in the jacket to show up and they only have two backpacks. It does really look like the two pictures on the right could be someone different with a similar jacket to the two pictures on the left though.

They have over 200 photos already. I think the smiling photos are on a different day.

Pretty sure all of those pics are different people. I guess we'll never find them, might as well give up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Seems pretty obvious the left two and the right two are different people.

Not only do I agree, but also it has been my feeling that the Starbucks footage and visit was a performance of some kind, and the water and phone they found were a distraction. Dude seems to have otherwise thought this through pretty well.

I admit that's nothing more than a hunch though, and I can't really defend it against anyone who disagrees.

Seems like they'll never find em. Stand down.

To me it looks like the same person in different lighting conditions.

Honestly one looks like a very famous Podcaster and the other looks like a woman to me

I wouldn't be surprised if a significant portion of the NYPD cares just as little about finding this guy as the rest of us care about them finding him.

"Yes yes, we take it very seriously. Look, he was wearing a hoodie!"

The right two and the left two don't have the same coat colour

Maybe he gotvfriends as a distraction?

Top right looks like Jake Gyllenhaal

Bottom right looks like Aaron Taylor-Johnson

Different bag and jacket too? I don't see how you can match the fact there at all.

I knew the police is full of stupid fucks, but come on! Wtf is wrong with the pigs?

Shh, don't tell the NYPD that.

Pack straps for one

When people have different jackets and backpacks it not just to have the same jacket in different color. It’s to have a heavier jacket or different sized backpacks.

Also hostel guy eye look more wide set and his brow is more pronounced. Bridge of nose looks wider and deeper too.

No, I think they match, but if I wound up on his jury, I might start to doubt it.

I forget, when were the hostel images captured? Is it a case of different day, different coat, different bag?

i used to lived next to an organized crime person.

they would fuck with me constantly because i have a problem of keeping my mouth shut because i do.

and when they left on vacation they would use their underlings to fuck with my life. some horrible shit would happen to me. and then a few days later they would return smiling and smirking asking how i was doing.

the following is my opinion: trump hired that killer (probably someone with a beef against insurance) through some underling with the promise of a big payoff, left the country to France, and the killer was supposed to be paid off after the kill but was left with monopoly money because trump never pays his debts. And now the killer is dead and in the Hudson never to be found in one piece.

now trump will use the killing to push a hardcore agenda of police and constant surveillance to make sure it won't happen again.

and the rich will pay him to make sure that it doesn't.

but it will happen again. and trump will leave the country right before it does.
