Enough people spoke to him along the way. There is a major difference in the way someone from Louisiana talks vs the speech patterns of a person from NY.
Sorry - reposting my last. Using @EricaJ4u2 's sharpened picture, I gave MH a shave
Serious question, can you make him appear heavier? Put weight on him?

sure - the photo on the right is only a slightly fuller face. I rounded out his jaw.
Stephen Colbert is from South Carolina and had an accent before he took measures to neutralize it.
I am from eastern North Carolina and I can pinpoint that accent immediately upon hearing it. For instance, the lead prosecutor in the documentary "The Staircase" is from Durham, NC, and I swear I can smell the pig pickin' vinegar BBQ at the Southern Baptist Church when I hear her voice, it is that distinct to me.
As for myself, I was in the military for over 10 years and my accent is very, very, faint if I still have one at all. After meeting so many people from so many different parts of the country, and the world, I am almost always asked if my accent is from California.
The point is, MH may not have had an accent at all, be it from Louisiana or New York. I speculate that he may have spoke with a neutral accent due to being used to addressing a room of people (like Colbert) and/or travelling to and living in many different parts of the country and the world (like me).
The thought has been put forth that MH may have been a veteran, but that is dismissed because of fingerprints. I still have a very slight belief that he may be a vet, because believe me you if anyone was going to lose something, misplace something, mislabel something, throw it away by accident, or completely forget to log it at all, it would be the military and DoD government contractors.
This is merely speculation though![]()

I could totally believe he was a defense contractor. Defense contracts come and go and the people who are hired on them can get let go on very short notice. Middle Carbuff is a contractor in Germany and every year when the contract comes up for renewal, we have a few anxious days. If he ever doesn't get renewed, he will have like two weeks to pack up and leave Germany because his visa status expires with the contract...
But anyway, that could be why he found himself suddenly unemployed. If he's at the older end of the age range, he might have found himself rather unemployable as well.

Veteran dead in his DeSoto apartment for 3 years finally laid to rest as questions still linger
Man found in apartment 'died three years ago'
And I still think there is some sort of connection to Turkey or the Turkish language (as I understand, “ben bilmem” in Turkish translates to “I do not know” in English):

Oh no ... I’m so sorryI have a very close connection to this, but cannot say too much![]()
Oh no ... I’m so sorry. I just saw your last post. It makes sense.
Only if you don’t mind answering: In your experience, are most of those who become contractors ex-military?

Another picture of him I had previously never seen:
Thanks for doing this, once again i get a different impression of Mostly H. this time his eyes remind me of someone Irish, imo, speculation.sure - the photo on the right is only a slightly fuller face. I rounded out his jaw.
