Antti Hynonen Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Wim, I don't think the first photo is of him. I thought the first one is a photo of the fellow who allegedly killed his parents and stored them in the fridge of his home. His name escapes me right now, but it was something like Rogers.

The first one is Charles Frederick Rogers, the second one is the tramp as photographed in Dealey Plaza nov 22 63, the third is Harold Doyle.

Terry Mauro Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Thanks James, Can you also do one with the picture of Harold with the kids? Just his head in the middle picture?Wim I think it's a great match. I would say "bullseye". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Adams Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Is everyone here agreeing that "Frenchy" and Mr. Doyle are the same man? I do not see it. I look at the nose, the forehead, and especially at the ears. IMO, none of them match, even remotely. Of course we know the old saying about opinions, but if the pictures inserted by James are of the two men at nearly the same time in their lives (same age +-), I do not believe that they should even be compared. And, again I add, FWIW, it is just my opinion. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Richards Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 (edited) Terry, Jury is still out for me. If you look at the two images of the Tramp (Frenchy) I used in my comparisons, they don't even look like the same man. This aspect has always made life difficult when comparisons are made whether it be Charles Rogers or whoever.

Jack White Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Frenchy had a VERTICAL wrinkle above his nose on the supraorbital arch. Neither Doyle nor any other contender does. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchy looks 10 years older if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
