I never said anything about a hat. I don't think it was a hat. I think it is a hoodie... just as you quoted. Like the hood--- of the hoodie--- on his head.
Here is a post from the media thread with the original photos:

In the right foot down photo- over his right shoulder, it appears TO ME that you can see the hoodie go across his forehead and all the way down to his shoulder. The other one, the lighting is different, but....
In this gif that was recreated by our own members a few times (so nothing official, but you can go back and see where people have marked trees and spots in the wood and other identifying marks) you can see it appears that the 2 photos were nearly back to back in the frames of the video. There was no time for him to remove anything. His hands are similar, his clothing is in similar positions, the bridge is consistent with being a step ahead, but somehow the hoodie goes from up to down? Logically, that can't work. Which is why I say it didnt happen. All hair or all hoodie or all hat. Not 2 different things. In my opinion.
This was thread #4!!! That's how long this has been looked at.

Now, if you can show me where law enforcement has said that in one picture it is down and one it was up, then I will be completely stunned. I have been following since literally when they went missing, as someone in my homeschool group knew the girls and posted. I thought I have read everything. But, please show me if they have stated that. I have been wrong before and will definitely be wrong again!
Also, just to add--- here is my post from Thread #3. It was quoting a guy on twitter who said that the hoodie was up in one and not in the other. Definitely now law enforcement, in case that is what you saw:
