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.

Deep State!

 

"...But from the beginning, several people who saw the body at the barn questioned the official account. The dead man didn’t resemble the fair, raven-haired Booth, a dashing Shakespearean performer who, with his brothers Edwin and Junius, played theaters in Philadelphia, New York, and Washington. ..."

I didn't think DRino was that old.

St Helen is not even close to Booth.

 

 

The key thing here is... Close only counts in horseshoes & hand grenades.  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.

  1. The Booths were one of the most famous people in the country.  
  2. John Wilkes wanted to be famous.
  3. JWB would never stay quiet. He craved attention. 
  4. Oh, he died.  
  5. There were dozens witnesses to his death.

Totally agree.  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

Elvis donated to a sperm bank, and his seed resulted in Richie?!  I thought O’Leary being Nicholson’s nephew was big news!

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.
