I doesn't appear to be the same sweater she was wearing in the surveillance photo.

where did you see a pic of the sweater?

where did you see a pic of the sweater?

I was going to ask this as well. Is there an actual picture of the sweater that was found today?

The caption beneath the photo says the member of the rescue team is holding up a red sweater found today.

If you mean the red packaged thing, I can't make out anything about it. It could be a seat cushion for all I can tell.

According to the FBI Missing Persons description, surveillance photos and other reports Alexis was wearing a pink blouse on August 3.

Pink and red are compatible colors and from the surveillance photos her top doesn't quite look pink or red. How would the color of her top be affected by being in river water for an extended period of time? Make it darker or lighter?

Is that a zip-up sweater they pulled from the water? Hers looks like a pullover .

 

[strach304]

The red sweater found looks too dark to be the pink one on the surveillance video. That's my opinion anyway.

I think that's the sleeve not a zipper.

What they pulled looks to me like a man's zippered hoodie. JMO

You don't see the vertical metallic looking lines on each side of the guy holding it up? Looks like both sides of the zipper to me.

If it was wet, it would be darker....also, sometimes hues are variable on different cameras, images...

(I'm not saying it is the sweater, or it isn't the sweater).

I also thought that at first.. But upon further inspection, it looks like the space between the sleeves and torso of the sweater .. You can see the water wave patterns.:twocents:

I almost never get on here however I was so upset about the sweater being found I wanted to reach out. Would love to know from all of you if you think this is possibly Alexis's sweater. What do you think?

 

[margarita25]

The sweater does seem really dark though...

My opinion is that this can go either way. JMO.

Wouldn't her shirt be a lot smaller?
