Yeah, I think this is a good match.

I agree. I recognize this shape chin from my own family and comparing Roger's young photo and the parents' photos to the UID's photo, his chin is exactly right (and pretty unique).
Has this been submitted?

Not the same man. Very different face

One of his aliases was Roger S. Smith. Very close to Rogers. I bet my money it is him.

 

[Magnum P.E.]

Bumping. I bumped him 11 years ago and we don’t know one iota more about him than we did then. Anyone know if the judge ever wrote his book? He must have been sitting on some info, what is currently public would not make much of a book.

 

[Susikatze]

I am sure he is Rogers. Everything matches and he looks exactly like the young sailor, just aged. But every feature of his matches

And being wanted for double murder of your parents after chopping them up (yikes) is a good reason to go into hiding for life.

He sure looks like he could be Rogers. Does anyone know how tall Rogers was? If he was 6’2” or something, no way. The stuff about him being involved in the JFK assassination is ridiculous. But anything on the JFK assassination sells.
I found a better quality photo of Rogers. I will make it large so we can see details better. OK, maybe it is not any better, just bigger.

Weird that so little is published about Rogers, with the nature of his crime and his never being seen again.

 

[Magnum P.E.]

I have answered my own question. Charles Rogers was 5’7” and 140lbs., according to this newspaper report at the time of the Ice Box Murders.
OK, I buy that this could be him. At least I see no reason that it could not be him, and I sure looked hard.

I will say that if it were me, I would have stayed as far away from Texas as possible!

People have odd reasons sometimes in picking their residence towns. Who knows. He must have felt safe having his fingerprints removed and his name changed frequently. I guess after he noticed he was legally declared deceased, he ultimately felt safe.

He may have gotten a job in san angelo or found a cheap place to stay. May have had a partner there. He was from TX and it is a big state. Why should he leave it. It is big enough to slip under the radar. Especially back then.

Actually to me it even reinforces the theory he is Rogers.

The brand of glasses not is known? Could this be a lead to follow?
