Can we have a thread about his car?
I created one at the link:

Can we have a thread about his car?
This is more about appearance than strictly clothes . . . and it's about the visceral impact of his appearance, rather that anything factual. But I have to admit I have a strong instinctual reaction to him as a non-Rastafarian man (and apparently a person not from a Caribbean culture) who choses to wear dreds. I think it's quite unusual for an African-American man who self-identifies strongly as a mainstream (Baptist? Evangelical?) Christian to choose to grow dreds. When I was in college in New York, ages ago, there was a dude who hung around the fringes of our college crowd, and he was not either a Rasta or of Caribbean descent, and he had a thing about trying to pick up college girls, and we always joked about how he cultivated the dreds because it made him appear likable and friendly and non-threatening to a certain kind of college girl who liked to think she was cool and who probably had some Bob Marley CDs and took a toke of weed from time to time. Like, the dreds were cultivated kind of obviously to ingratiate himself to college co-eds. (And that guy, who I knew --- nothing to do, factually, with JLM --- happened to be a real, real creep. Predatory, tho not "predator."") Anyway, so when I started following the Heather Graham disappearance, I just had a visceral response to the video images of JLM.
PS: I'm not referring to the wearing of dreds by white kids, who are into, you know, alternative culture. And I'm not at all referring to anyone, black or white, who wears dreds because they're into Rastifarian culture or religion. And, to qualify this post even further -- because I'm afraid of potentially being offensive --- my own children are black (we're a multiracial family). So I'm not just talking about the whole "gee, black men on the street alone make me nervous" response that many Caucasians unfortunately have been conditioned to feel. Again, hope my post doesn't offend. But I just think that making his image more "friendly" and "laid back" would be a motivation for LJM to grow dreds. We know he's a grown man who likes to try to pick up drunk teenage college girls (as friends have been quoted LJM like to do).
Sorry, forgot the link in my post above. Witnesses told Coy that he was wearing crocs.
IIRC, the store video in Texas showed him wearing a green shirt and what looked like leggings, pants that seemed way too tight/small.
I have only seen the blue checkered shirt mentioned; can someone link to the existance of the burgundy shirt? I am afraid they are one and the same.From Mike Murillo:

In addition to #HannahGraham's clothes and phone, police are looking for #JesseMatthew's blue checkered shirt, cargo pants and crocks.#WTOP
.................
Wonder if this means the maroon t-shirt was found?
I believe he also was in his sock feet in the TX convenience store video. Didn't look like he was wearing shoes.
it's under his check shirt in that picture in coy barefoot articleView attachment 61418
Ahhhh, thank you so much!!!! I guess they would have mentioned the burgundy shirt if they hadn't located it.
Not sure where else to post this, but from the pic above that is supposedly taken that night, I can definitely see where WG got his description from (short hair, facial hair).
the clothes in that video are so odd. I don't think they're his
the trousers look way too short and very..fitted
I also think sock feet
