Maybe with the helmet there's limited peripheral vision and he's just kind of feeling his way along?

We discussed it a while back and most people decided probably dominant right handedness.

Graphic warning: Respectfully, I disagree. A struggle can mean a variety of scenarios. Incapacitated doesn't necessarily mean down and unconscious. It can also mean weakened/disabled. You can incapacitate someone and they can still struggle. Turned over furniture, a trail of blood...

Oddly, I found myself nodding to virtually everything PS said on the program. Though I have certainly spent a lot of time working on (and considering) other avenues, I have never "evolved" from my original thoughts on this case. Especially when it comes to the more bizarre theories I've...

Skepticism is always a good thing. It shows you aren't easily convinced, especially when it goes against what you're seeing. I spent a lot of time explaining how I determined the person's general body shape in pretty thorough detail, so that's about the best I can do for anyone willing to read...

This is where knowledge of anatomy comes into play. If you fill all the bulges you are seeing with meat or fat, you'll end up with something that looks more like this. Since it's not likely the subject looks like that even in one frame, then you use the elimination technique I described in my...

Yes I can. Hopefully. Just want to start by saying I've worked as a medical and technical illustrator, so I have a thorough knowledge base with regards to anatomy. So in this technique, determining the general body size/shape is basically a tedious process of elimination. This is a lot of...

I think I probably would too. But I've been in a similar situation when I was in my 20s. There was a nation-wide manhunt for a fugitive that turned out to be staying down the street from an apartment where I lived. The FBI was scattered around the neighborhood, waiting to ambush the guy. I was...

Each frame from that sequence of the video is overlaid with a layer, on the layer I trace the outline of the subject, locate areas where there is little or no padding, etc. Within a 50-frame sequence, I use those data points to get an average size of that body part. It looks a little like this...

It may take a couple days but I'll try.

Good eye. Yes, several people have mentioned they believe it's a helmet like that with a balaclava and a strap-on LED lamp. Various helmet types come in that style, including paintball tac helmets, which are pretty cheap on Amazon.

I kept wondering how people are seeing a "heavy" person in the surveillance footage, and thought maybe it was a combination between top-down camera angle and the bulky gear. Here's what happens when a camera is at a top-down angle: I created a brief animation using my "body scan" technique. I...

I like how your mind works. I feel like any number of those might be going on in his or her head - even a combination of several. My own thoughts are that vindication was the motive and the motivation for this crime. I think if there is any regret or guilt, it has more to do with the perp's own...

Well that's where the difference in "corroborate" and "confirm" are. LE has said that both family member's alibis were corroborated by independent sources. They didn't give details, but I'm guessing that witnesses told LE that yep, they were where they said they were. In other words, alibis...

No alibis have been confirmed. LE has stated in their latest press release that some family members alibis were "corroborated by independent sources". Confirmed and corroborated mean different things. Just fwiw.

According to the MPD presser, here is the quote: "I just want to be clear that the Bevers family, including (BB) and hisfather, have been cooperative, forthcoming, and provided detailed alibis thathave all been corroborated through independent sources." and "...to be clear, none of Missy's...

I don't think we're allowed to discuss BB's job. But I know for certain he does not work at Creekside.

Ikena is a program, but Prohawk is real-time hardware that has to be integrated into your camera's system. I doubt either would be be very helpful on the existing photo, unless LE has a much better quality image than they released to the public.

That was my first thought. Could very well be. But there are places in the video where it looks like a balaklava as well.

My estimate is pretty close to yours. I am thinking 2.5-3". The kind of helmet I think is used doesn't have padding inside. It's just sort of a "toy" helmet that gives paintball protection . It's lined with a sort of webbing. A friend of mind says he has something sort of like it for paintball...
