    The other photos have a clear view of his lower face and the side views from this are probably enough to construct a model for facial recognition. Especially because Luigi (who had a lot less footage) got caught by facial recognition. I give him a week.

      Is it not just possible to create semi-realistic masks at this point or even learn how to apply makeup and effects to obscure the face?

        that’s what i’ve been thinking. there’s definitely ways to use makeup to create false facial markers (moles, scars, coverup) and/or get a wig. it might be a bit uncomfortable but it could definitely lead law enforcement astray when looking for the culprit. not sure about the logistics of that kind of thing, but it can definitely be done.

          Similar thing happened in the Yorkshire ripper case here in the UK. Someone pretending to be the Yorkshire ripper called the police “confessing” to the murders and Peter Sutcliffe (the real killer) ended up being let go due to not having the same accent.
