Iā€™m timid about this and might be late to a party where others already had this idea, so please, no haters.

I canā€™t get over how facile and stupid the identification of LM was at a McDoballs. This is someone who fell off the entire grid for three months??

Just askingā€¦ but couldnā€™t an organization trying to conceal its reach and inevitability track a fellaā€¦ and thenā€¦ force an identification?

I do not have any idea about detailsā€¦ itā€™s broad strokes. Could it be? How many other privacy lovers heard about these three months completely off the grid somehow and also wonderedā€¦ how?

Please pardon if this isnā€™t the appropriate place but the real theme is privacy. What if the watchers are always watching even when a person might believe they have made themself completely digitally invisible?

    Three months? And no one correcting you on that? WTF? Couple of days between shooting and arrestā€¦!

    Other than that: yeah, unlikely anyone could recognize anyone from those pubished photos.

            That directly juxtaposes the seemingly easy identification with an implication/presumption/insinuation/allegation that authorities were unable to find someone for 3 months. Since they were not looking, the original statement as such is pointless.

              It establishes how careful his behavior was during those three months. Obviously he was not famous for murder during that time, but it might lead us to believe that a person living on a post pandemic world and seeking to remain anonymous might have chosen a mask at Mc Ds? For that matterā€¦ why not on the sidewalk where the event happened?
