Maybe it's too big, maybe the nose isn't the same, but I'm just going by resemblance on the sketch.

John Deeny’s thread on WS.

I think we can rule Deeny out. He had surgical scars on his thighs. The only scar our BCJD had was inside his mouth. MOO JMO

Sorry moderators, I noticed that there is a third thread active for this case, wouldn't it be better to close this one and leave the other open?

https://websleuths.com/threads/la-b...7-up88342-hanged-suicide-note-feb75-3.718118/

This also is active...!

That thread was created in 2024, likely by mistake, and hasn’t seen any activity since. It might be a good idea to report it to prevent any potential confusion. MOO JMO

@PatLaurel think it’s been done - getting a ‘thread not found’.

Agreed about Deeny, but thought I’d link his thread since he was mentioned here as a possibility.

I thought that maybe we don't know everything about John Doe...

Agreed, but John's a couple of inches shorter than the shortest projected height for the Doe, and he's not only shorter, but heavier. And I know this is subjective, but I don't think he looks a whole lot like him aside from the dark hair and dreamy eyes. Nose, chin, lips don't look similar enough to me, but it's subjective, and I might be way off or the likeness for the Doe might be way off, (maybe the Doe has features that can vary significantly depending on lighting, angle, and so on). And John's 20 in 1973, he's going to be around 22 by the time the Doe's found. Any one of these things, I'd say maybe, all of them together, I mean it's still maybe, but I think it becomes less and less likely, but again, jmo. The scars kind of sway me too far towards thinking no.

James Zapolski is the closest I've come to any reported MP I think might be the Doe. If it's not him, jmo, I don't think he's reported. And the Doe's letter makes it seem like he should have been reported, theoretically, so... that's a concern.

The ME was thorough enough to document a scar inside BCJD’s mouth. I doubt they would have missed any surgical scars on his thighs, given that those would be obvious identifying marks. MOO JMO

To document this: Mrs Wallace specifically mentions that Charlie had a scar on his leg missing from BCJD. (See newspaper clipping in post here.) No other mention of leg scars.

I’m still amazed that two different people would have exactly the same 40 stitches scar in such a specific place. I don’t think I’ll ever get over the fact that CW isn’t BCJD. MOO JMO

ETA: @cenazoic, the link to the clipping is broken.
