We've had interest in footwear shown around this case. Are these sneakers, or some kind of work boots? The toes look a little long, as if they might have protectors in, to me? (I know very little about sneaker brands, I should add, so for all I know they're the lates air Jordan Nikes Reeboks, whatever, for all I know).

I don't believe a weapon was recovered.

That's very confusing if it was a self-inflicted gunshot.

I too thought straight away that they were work type boots .

 

[Guidedbyfaith]

It looks like Nike boots.

they are Nike boots. VERY popular shoe for young guys in DC.

The gun used to kill KLT's wife was not recovered as far as we know. The gun KLT killed himself with was.

 

[Guidedbyfaith]

I'm trying to remember where I read that the gun was in his lap. Because I had a problem with that explanation but if no gun was recovered...sounds like a cover up to something else...JMO.

A couple folks mentioned they thought the guy in the video was walking slowly or waiting for someone. Based on the escalator speed behind him, I think the vid itself is somewhat slowed down so the viewers can get a better look at him.

Nike boots.

 

[Dénouement]

So what would people say the description should be?

Black male, age 27-37, medium build, 5'8 - 5'10", shaved black hair, moustache, wearing gray hoodie, black leather jacket, baggy black pants and black boots?

To my eyes the hoodie and pants match in colour.

What was the weather like around this time, particularly temperature? I know we don't have a specific date but he is wearing gloves. Some people in my location wear this of kind attire for four seasons but they rarely wear gloves.

This is in regards to the hotel where the wife was found.

When he gets to the pillar he looks around a bit and it is hard to say, because the video ends, but to me it almost looks like he starts to hesitate there. jmo

Just borrowing this idea from the UID threads, but looking for the spaces between features and the shape of obvious features, is helpful when a person isn't sure of ID. So for this guy, I'd say his forehead is pretty important - high, rounded and you can hardly see that ridge above the eyebrows that is usually quite marked with men? Also, he seems to have the 'perfect' chin, just in line with his forehead from the side, neither too regressed or too protuberant?

Thanks for clearing that up.

I was just thinking the same about the hoodie/pants. Do you think they're both gray?

ETA- Could that be a work uniform?

I really think the pants are jeans.

[zwiebel]

Jeans, workpants or just pants? Black, gray or dark blue?

 

[nikki80]

I think the pants are jeans too. Just a darker wash/denim. Look at the way they fall around his shoe. Guys from DC don't really do the tapered leg denim UNLESS they are doing the whole skinny jean look and if that were the case, the thigh area would be slimmer. It's too baggy around the thigh area. Denim jeans, gray hoodie, black leather jacket, Nike boots, black gloves.

We had really erratic weather in February and March. Here is the high/low for a few dates from Weather Underground.

Feb. 26: high 38, low 27
Feb. 27: high 43, low 21
Feb. 28: high 30, low 14
March 1: high 46, low 23
March 2: high 53, low 36
March 3: high 38, low 17

On March 11, the high was up at 72 and then we had snow less than a week later!!
