This gave me chills.When we look at the photo from Libby's phone it sure looks like BG has something on his head. We here on WS analyzed that photo over and over again about what he had on his head, was it a hat, was it a hood from a hoodie, was it both a hat and a hood over his head, was it a bandanna or did he have something on his face, and on and on. I think it's very possible BG was wearing something on his head that might have made it look like he has puffy hair. She didn't walk past the man on the bridge, she saw him from a distance and turned around to head the other way. I'd say she likely saw the man we all saw on that video Libby took and we sure couldn't agree about what he had on his head and we had a photo to analyze and go over and study. She saw him from a distance and walked the other way.
I'd say something as simple as him being on the bridge lead her to say he's in his 20s. Might have assumed or made a best guess based on thinking he had puffy hair and was out on a scary old RR bridge so must be younger.
The timing of it all means whoever BB saw IS the man on the bridge that encountered Abby and Libby.
Edited because I quoted the wrong post for this reply and I don't know how to add the right one now. UGH I was trying to respond to the statement that BB saw a man with puffy hair in his 20s.
Perhaps RA didn't WANT to be seen or remembered by ANYONE that day. He did keep his face shrouded in some way or at least no one had a lock on every single facial feature. Might have kept his chin low and covered, might've had a cap or hood to disguise his hair. Got quite "lucky" (to use a word that's GROTESQUE in the context of the crime to come) that he WASN'T seen by MORE people -- a tragic absence of hikers at a time when AW and LG needed a LEGION of human guardian angels.
Here's where it gets eerie. At some moment -- whether planned, stalked, or spontaneous -- he knew he was going to abduct them... and from that moment, he didn't have to care about them identifying him -- because he was going to make sure they could not. No more care to protect his features. In other words, and I'm struggling to articulate this -- RA intended to murder his final eye witnesses -- and had no idea that LG created a third eye witness. We DON'T know how RA appeared to the others, only what the sketches show, but we HAVE NOT heard from those witnesses from the witness stand. Hood, hat, hoodie, hair, wig that he removed/covered before he pursued them on the bridge.
If only he HAD been photographed or videotaped by those other witnesses! And had AW and LG NOT been his vicgoms that day but someone else, imagine the evidence LG would have been able to provide-- saw him, recorded him, remembered him and had proof.
I don't know what BB will testify to but if RA had a fur rimmed hood or even a hood over a visored cap, the cap alone could account for the SHAPE of poofy hair, seen from a distance where shadows take shape. The IMPRESSION of a shorter individual, not averse to walking the bridge, with the appearance of a mop of poofy hair lends itself to younger vs. older. Moreover, if the age range was hers, she must have been unsure enough that she couldn't pin a more narrrow age range to the man. 20 to 40 IMO is the same as saying "I don't know, he was on the bridge, so probably not THAT old. But I can't say he was 20, but maybe somewhere between 20 and 40".
But back to the chills.
There came a moment where was no longer concerned with being IDed.....
And LG captured it.
