CNN webpage with a photo and text saying "We have a photo showing the suspect's unmasked face. How has no one recognized him and come forward to police?"
But my guess is that this person is just a random person who happened to have similar outfit, near the wrong place, around the wrong time. They saw this and immediately put the blame on the person.
I mean, the guy on the shooting video was smart enough to have a suppressor, but he just decided to pull down his mask when he know he's on camera? Doubt.
Robert Lee Stinson was falsely convicted using "teeth mark" psudoscience BS, and that was a low-profile case. This is a "high-profile" case to them. Who knows what ends they'll go to find someone to blame it on.
Thing is, everyone has seen this photo by now. The person in the photo has seen the photo. People who know him have seen the photo. If it were a photo of me, I'd be like, "Oh shit, I better call a lawyer because these cops think I killed someone" and call to clear up the mistake. I'd let everyone know that's a pic of me, but I am not the murderer.
You're brave if you think that would be enough for them to leave you alone. I've know a few people who've been stalked and harassed for years by cops who had nothing on them.
i'd highly advise against doing that if it ever happens to you, especially with a high profile case like this one.
chances are someone will be found, arrested, and tried for this, it'd be an incredibly bad look for the police to shrug and say "we don't know" - will it be the person who actually killed that CEO, or will it be a scapegoat who just had the misfortune of looking like him and nobody could confirm their alibi of "i was at alone at home watching movies"? Interrogations can last a long time, the longer one lasts the more likely a false confession is to happen because the person just wants the questioning to end, not to even mention the multitude of techniques used by interrogators to get into your head
yes, contact a lawyer immediately, just in case, but don't go around announcing "this is me in the photo but i didn't do it pinky promise, i was watching movies that night haha, no sorry i don't have a habit of telling everyone i'm going to be watching movies, no none of my neighbours saw me that night i was alone"
Can’t you do all that after they catch you? Cause there is a chance they won’t and you doing that might increase your chances of getting caught and being wrongly convicted.
You're right, the dude in the photo is probably AI generated, so the poliece looks like they have a suspect already and nobody is going to embarrass them.
It honestly reminds me of Fahrenheit 451. The main character is on the run and watches the news to see police killing a random man that they said was him. Just so the public would see the police as competent.
I loved that CNN published a picture of the wrong guy, smiling, handsome, flirting with the receptionist.
So now, it makes it easier for the murderer to escape because people are looking for a face that is not his and in the collective unconscious he went from a dark alley murderer to a handsome, smiling guy casually flirting that makes him even more likeable.
I know it's way too far fetched but as a plan it would be a genius master plan.
I love that the true crime investigator people on the internet, when asked about helping, responded with a resounding (actual quote) 'absolutely the fuck not'.

Do these people really think Americans are about to turn on a folk hero and even if they are willing, would you want to be on that guy's shit list over some dead executive?
Why is CNN's CEO Sir Mark John Thompson looking to draw attention to himself? Could he be hoping for a new trend to develop where people surprise CEOs named Thompson in the streets? Seems weird, but maybe he's optimistically hoping that his surprise might be cake or something.
No idea what you're talking about, but there's clearly something wrong with my phone. People keep mentioning pictures of some dude but the pictures never seem to load on my phone at all. It's wild how that only happens specifically with that one picture. Oh well.
I'd like to come forward and say that I also wear a hoodie when it's cold. Not that color though, I prefer a black or blue hoodie. I also wear glasses, have a beard and moustache, and am at least 3 times uglier than the guy in the photo.
Weird, shocker, complete mystery, total enigma; very puzzling, baffling, inexplicable, a “head-scratcher” as the hooligans say; indecipherable, unanswerable, consign it to oblivion and endeavor never to ask this quandary again.
Maybe everyone around him/her died from coverage refusal, nobody can identify that person cause they are dead. Which would explain why they decided to kill the leech-ionnaire

I think it's too far fetched but it would be a perfect master plan.
