Wow, great find Michael! This is a big slip of the LE agency distributing the image IMO. The poster was initially placed by the Newton County Sheriff's Office on their FB page:

The poster clearly states it is Law Enforcement sensitive and also states it is supposed to be distributed to LE agencies only, unless approval is given to distribute in a different way.
Yes, that frame is different from the other two. It is the first frame prior to the other two IMO. Here is a slightly better quality, just enlarged/re-sampled:
Sequence is 2-1-3 IMO, look at how the shoulder moves compared to the twigs in the background.
All IMO

I remember seeing this photo when the case first got going. It then disappeared (I can see why now according to your explanation). One of the WS members found it and posted it again but it got lost in the threads. I did a cursory look for it at one time but it never came up in my searches. Glad to have it back. Still another "look" for BG and possibilities for sleuthing his person.
Nin, I see how your sequencing "works" but funny how my mind wants to say 3-2-1 because it looks more like a complete step sequence to me: the end of lifting of the right leg (the kicking out right before putting it down, which moves him forward), putting that right foot down (has moved forward the one step) as the left lifts in back, and then the left knee coming up getting ready to take the next step (in which the left leg would now kick out to move forward).
Also, with that tree clearly visible in the back and then not in the other two frames, it seems he has stepped away from it. Again, it may just be my mind sees the tree in one but not the other two so it feels like he's moved on from it, especially since we know he does move forward and away.
Also I wonder if perception of BG's position could be slightly skewed because of the possiblility that Libby herself was moving or at least the camera was moving while she was filming. For example, she could have been moving off the platform and making her way down off the bridge or was at the end of the bridge but trying to move further away.
What would be really great is if we had been privy to the wider shots before they were cropped. That tree is probably in all three backgrounds and would probably reveal the sequence easier.
Another point that this additional photo brings to mind: we have three stills, three, which almost constitute a complete step sequence and LE would not release a video clip that at least showed this? Why on earth not? Nothing has been revealed here but one step.
Okay, I have edited this at least 8 times and must stop. These are just my thoughts only.
