Hi all! Haven't been on this forum since the Shane Montgomery case, I believe. So, it's been a while. Wanted to check in and read up on this case as it's periodically been popping up on various news sites I frequent. I didn't really pay it too much attention first but since it keeps popping up, I decided to read up on it and also come here to see what others are thinking.
Anyway, here are a few things that comes to mind for ME when looking at the BG photo and reading about the story/circumstances. Haven't been through ALL the 20+ threads yet so not sure if any or all of these or similar things have been mentioned before.
So, my INITIAL reactions/thoughts on the BG photo BEFORE I read anyone else's opinions, saw any alterations of the photo, etc........
1. My initial impressions was that he appeared to be wearing those hunting pants many men wear from places like Cabela's or Bass Pro Shops. With one color on the bottom and another at the top. I say that because to me, it appears his hands are in pockets. But at the same time, the part of the jeans where the pockets are, appears to be a different color. Which is why these kind of pants came to mind. I will include links below to show examples. I KNOW in the past I have seen pants that were reversed (compared to the ones in the link). Meaning, I KNOW I saw pants that were made of jean like material on the bottom and brown at the top. But for the life of me I haven't been successful finding an example online. BUT, I can also see how that could just be jeans and a colored shirt hanging down lower than his jacket too.

2. My first impression also told me that this was/is a middle aged man. Maybe 40's-50's. LATE 30's being the absolute youngest. Just the impression I get from the photo.
3. I also got the impression he had/has HAIR LIKE the dude who left his child in the car last year (?) (only FULLER/MORE). This guy (pic at bottom of page). I AM NOT SAYING IT IS THIS GUY, OBVIOUSLY. LOL But yeah, I see hair like his (side parted/fuller/brown/etc). I DO NO see a hat of any kind or hood, or cap, etc.:

And finally, I get the impression this was not planned and reminds me of a similar incident that happened to me and a friend when we were young. We came upon a parked car that had a guy inside who was just sitting there........well........masturbating. Of course being young and silly, perhaps even stupid, we stopped and giggled at such a site. That is, until he saw us and started the car and tried chasing us down. Anyway, not sure what his intentions were with us but he did exit the car at one point and try to snatch us up. But we ran like heck to the nearest store and the owner called our parents and police. Sadly, he was never caught.
Anyway, what if the girls came upon this guy doing something similar (masturbating out in public) and they too, being young and naive, just thought it shocking/funny/whatever and decided to "record" him/take a pic of him? probably like many kids their age would do. However, he noticed what they were doing and panicked/got mad, especially in this day and age of the cell phone, the Internet, Social Media, etc. where things can go public real quick!
He could have become scared he'd be all over social media and possibly even reported to the police and couldn't have that so he went after them. Maybe initially just to get their cell phone from them to destroy any pics and video of him? Maybe they fell and got hurt in the process of running? Or maybe he went after them with intent because they did see him conducting such a bold act out in public? Whether they were killed accidentally somehow or purposefully, I really wonder if it were due to something such as I described above? We may never really know.
Anything is possible, I guess. Anywho, just wanted to share some of my thoughts and ideas. ALL OPINIONS of course.
