Older white men with that facial hair style are as common as they come in the south. Also common are the wire rimmed glasses. At no point did I claim it could be one of them. I am pointing out that the pictures offered as 'proof' aren't convincing. Yes, they look similar...so do hundreds, if not thousands, of old white guys.
Point not missed, it doesn't matter how similar your facial hair is if you're six foot damn five... the facial hair and glasses aren't the only factors being considered. Quick question, what purpose do police sketch artists serve?
The pics you posted and claimed are the same guy should be looked at the same way. Verify the identity. Just because a two pictures look like they could be the same person doesn't mean they are.
