Regarding the sound/appearance of any of the folks that have been "looked at"...
I grew up in farm country, have lived as an adult in several States but all of them north of the 45th parallel. I have met many people whose age would be impossible to judge from appearance- both older and younger than they seem. A life outdoors, doing manual labor or living with any degree of self-sufficiency, can affect people very differently. Some folks seem to "not age well" and their skin is more easily damaged by sun and weather, their joints wear out quickly from heavy work and rough terrain. Others, however, thrive on the exercise/physical activity, may eat a simpler/homegrown/"whole food" subsistence diet, and depending on genetic background can appear much younger than their years, and/or live independently well in to their 90s or beyond.
I think the value of the images that were released is greatest for the chance that someone who knows who it is would recognize him. Beyond that, I think conjecture would be only within very broad parameters. The image and recording are, to me, very familiar, and remind me of thousands of men I've met/seen in my life (and yes, many of us dress that way.) I think one of the greatest values of this site is that we can stay up-to-date on the details, have many eyes to help "verify" which sources are reliable, and then SPREAD THE WORD to people around us who may not be aware and interested, as we are. We can reach people all over the country, or world.
I mean this is as our sleuthing applies to active cases, not so much cold ones. and this is, of course, only the OPINION of a new and inexperienced observer. I have a great deal of respect for the passion, time, energy, and COMpassion that I see in the WS community, and am honored to be accepted here. And please forgive the CAPS. I can't find a bold or italic function anywhere
Sorry.
I don't think it's RL. His voice is different, older sounding. He is 75 and at that age the typical person would not able to do something like this I think. My own opinion of course.
I do wonder if they've arrested him for his prior as a way to smoke out a family member. Or test DNA...
