I knew that was the one you were talking about! Elepher50 found a great comparison to another missing female with that picture, the thread is here but I forget her name. I think it's her. I mean I REALLY think its her. I believe the tip has been forwarded, including the pic... At least I think it has. I'll have to find that thread but I know its in this thread.

There's a thread on WS about this girl?

I just went through some of the posts & didn't see it. I'm still looking, don't know if she deleted it bc it was pertaining to another thread. I'm looking, though...

Wait, omg that's a different one! sillybilly she looks like her too!
 
That AAV Jessie look-alike was posted on the Wayback page Dec 24 2003, so couldn't be Jessie because she disappeared in 2006. I'm not 100% sure of all the intricacies of Wayback ... i.e. is there some way that computer gurus could substitute more recent pics into the older urls that Wayback attaches itself to?
 
Omg I could cry forever there's so many missing & abused people without any kind of end in sight this would has gone to hell in a hand basket it's so upsetting

The enormity of it all makes me physically ill a lot lately. All we can do is keep chipping away at it and hopefully make a difference.

Having said that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all our Canadian members. We truly do have a lot to be thankful for. Hug your loved ones ever so tight and tell them you love them and are so thankful for them.
 
My typos are ridiculous when I'm on my cell. I'm so sorry.

Sillybilly, when you told me you had to pick something up for Thanksgiving, I thought to myself wow she's on the ball bc no way am I shopping for it this early! Thanksgiving for us in the US isn't until Nov 22nd this year. I had no idea yours was today. Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Canadian friends! Have a beautiful holiday!
 
i see a lot of distortion when the pics are blown up but i don't see anything convincing as far as photoshopped facial features, chains, etc. i think the thing everyone is seeing as writing is the indentation on the mattress from her right arm.

i do think it's likely in 2002 - 2004 those pictures would have been physical prints that were then scanned onto a computer using a scanner. this would introduce additional artifacting.

i also am having trouble making linear sense of how the pics could both be proclaimed to be her but also have photoshopped facial features. if the face has been edited then it only looks like her because of the editing, right? which would mean it's not her.

also, there's no way to alter waybackmachine's index of the pictures, so put that conspiracy theory to rest. they grab a copy of the web site at a point in time and archive it on their server. changing the actual site won't change their index.

i still don't understand how it can both be proclaimed that her kidnappers put her picture on a publicly available web site AND proclaimed that the pictures are a threat to them? it doesn't make sense. if they were threatened by the pictures then they wouldn't have put them online.
 
I know that LE consider Amy's case to be active but can y'all share your 'picture' findings with FBI?
If I ever go missing, I want y'all on my team.

Sorry to post back to back but I have looked at your great enlargements over and over and now believe that these photos have been recently altered. I feel sure that as many times in the 1st thread and this one that these photos have been reviewed in every way possible, these odd occurrences would have shown up before now. I wonder if someone is playing games. Just asking.

I feel sure these pics , when originally discovered, were gone over with a fine tooth comb by FBI, LE using the best possible methods available

The pics that I used came directly from FindAmy's posts. I believe she got them from the site waybackmachine, which I use all the time. Waybackmachine archives sites exactly how they are shown on the date of the site data captures. The only thing that I can see that Randolph did different was enhancing the pixture's colors with deepening & lighting if the same shades, which is a very common Photoshopped technique to show things that could be hidden. With the pics that I used, I blew them up, cropped & inverted them. Then I enhanced the color using Photobucket, which is a free picture hosting site. That's it, nothing nefarious.

One thing I noticed with the picture that looks like she's wearing glasses, the one that Randolph did...well now I'm wondering if it was actually a bad cut & paste job of her eye & no glasses at all. Maybe the cut if that portion was done in a shaded area & was then pasted onto a lighter area, therefore creating a "ring or circle" around the eye. Could that explain why she only has that "circle" around one part of her face?

& trust me, I don't play games...won't even be part of something like that. This is a missing oerson's case & I take that very seriously. I'm sure FBI has this stuff. They'd have to. They're the professionals, not us. These pictures were blown up, sharpened, cropped, and color enhanced to pinpoint imperfections. I'm certain the professionals have much better programs to utilize, so if that's the case then they would have determined all this stuff years ago. It's just not posted. However Hyscience did the original enhancing years ago when Amy's picture was seen on that sex vacay site. They did some of the same things that were just posted. Anybody can do this.

I apologize and did not mean to infer that anyone on this board was doing anything to "play games", but surely you can understand why I was asking if this was a possibility. Earlier in the threads, these pictures were analyzed in many different ways, maybe we didn't have the tools that some of you have and that could be the reason, but just found it odd. Again, I apologize if anyone took offense. Will just lurk from now on.

I don't think the kidnappers are known (hence she is missing) ... we were told names of people who have information on the pictures , we don't know if they were "the kidnappers".

Criminals can have very (very very) sophisticated ways of communication ... I don't think that writing was on a mattress I feel that the photo scanned was edited and what we see is a "brushed up" version ...

Moo , it's possible AAV edited the photos and posted them as a "threat" to someone they had a problem with (or someone's) who may have Amy / or have taken the photos of Amy ....

I do not think AAV/PB kidnapped Amy , but I believe our verified poster and I feel they have more knowledge of the photos then they (aav) divulged.

MOO.
 
Hoping everyone keeps plugging at it, nothing wrong with agreeing or disagreeing on what we are seeing, or not seeing, especially if it helps someone get home.

Just want to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating this weekend and hoping that everyone has something good to eat and someone nice to love!l
 
Do you guys feel this could be a match to one of the suspects ?
