    the copycat idea fits a lot of inconsistencies here, but the resemblance is pretty strong. I don’t know what to think rn

      It’s too strong a coincidence that the picture of the smiling suspect who everyone though was not the real killer also happens to be a copycat. Maybe the cops circulated that picture after finding a guy to pin this on but I dunno, just seems too elaborate for the NYPD.

      The delay, deny, depose engravings don’t seem like they’d be written by someone with this dude’s ideology but shrug-outta-hecks

        well I’d imagine they immediately churned the image they had through every facial recognition program they could across their whole database of ID photographs etc, so finding a similar-looking patsy is not the biggest hurdle

        I think that picture went out too soon for it to be a situation where the detectives had already concluded the case was unsolvable and they need to go find a warm body to throw in prison to save face.
