/dev/null Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Quote George’s photo was nearly a perfect match with Booth’s, within the top 1 percent of those bearing similar facial features, said researchers who worked with the creator of the New York Police Department’s first dedicated facial-recognition unit. What’s more, he was within one pixel of having the same eye structure. https://www.philly.com/news/john-wilkes-booth-lincoln-conspiracy-photo-recognition-20190415.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's (facial recognition) still off. Way off. I watched that show and the guy they showed in the episode looked real close, not helen. The guy who knows where the mummy is a real dick. Saying its too soon to reveal ??? Really, everyone has been dead for almost a century. Plus the mummy had already been on display through the 70s, its not like the reputation of the government depends on it lol. That guy is just a douche, like those old geezers who refuse to tell anyone their "secret recipe" so they can feel important and then take it to the grave.

Max Fischer Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 The Booths were one of the most famous people in the country. John Wilkes wanted to be famous. JWB would never stay quiet. He craved attention. Oh, he died. There were dozens witnesses to his death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booth had a broken leg, an injured thumb, and the entire Union Army after him, so he wouldn't have gotten very far without help, which few Southerners were in any kind of position to offer even if they were so inclined. People love fantasies about people who were supposed to have died but really didn't. Probably the biggest such "mystery" in the 20th century was that Grand Duchess of Russia, Anastasia, somehow escaped execution at the hand of the Bolsheviks. Anastasia Romanov Then there's always the tales of Elvis being alive and well and living somewhere incognito. John Wilkes Booth was probably as well known at the time of his death as Elvis.

Difference between JWB and Elvis is that everybody in America knew what Elvis looked like in 1977. Not everyone in 1865 had seen a picture of JWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I can't prove this with a link or anything, but John Wilkes Booth was in Buffalo during the Battle of Gettysburg doing plays. He was feted afterwards. I was doing some research on Buffalo during the war and ran across that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone in 1865 had seen a picture of JWB Certainly not to the degree of Elvis (movies, TV, etc), but from late 1850s to 1864, JWB's face was indeed extremely well-known. His dad was a well-known actor, his brother, Edwin, was one of greatest actors of his time and much more famous than JWB (up until shots fired). Their pictures were routinely in every paper, back in a day when most cities published a paper at least twice a day, and sometimes a dozen a day. Of course, in the more rural areas, JWB would be less well-known; but in the weeks after the assassination, in almost any part of the country you probably couldn't go more than hour without seeing his picture. I'll also repeat, JWB killed Lincoln in part to be MORE famous. He saw himself as the hero in a great drama, to be worshipped by those who hated Lincoln and reignite the Civil War. Safe to say, he was a bit delusional with many psychological issues with his more talented, famous brothers (especially Edwin). [JWB was a great physical actor, but a bit of an eye-rolling ham who couldn't remember his lines]. In other words, he would never keep quiet.
