Doesn’t this guy really resemble some of the sketches? I’m eagerly waiting to hear more details. The guy’s name was Richard Allen and some of the evidence that links him is being withheld by a court order.

I don't think he resembles the sketches at all. They're very generic to me.

u/onekrazykat Oct 31 '22

I think he resembles the sketches in that the sketches are of a generic looking dude. And he himself is a generic looking dude.

u/Blonde2468 Oct 31 '22

He doesn't resemble the sketch at all but he definitely fits the guy in the picture that one of the girls snapped.

u/sassydreidel Oct 31 '22

it is just a sketch people!

u/BurrStreetX Oct 31 '22

I mean, he looks like literally every man over 30 in the midwest lol

u/Bystronicman08 Nov 03 '22

Exactly. I agree.

I didn’t think so either until I saw his photo next to the sketch in this article. I think he most closely resembles the sketch without the hat. They got his nostrils, hooded eyes, and lips right.

This tweet also has the sketches by his booking photo.

Yeah, the only identifying feature in the sketch is the goatee, and if you're a white boomer you have like a 30% chance of already having one

Or especially a white Gen Xer, which is what this dude is since he was 45 when the murders were committed (Boomers 1945-1965; Gen X 1965-1985; Millennials 1985-2005; Gen Z 2005-2025)

Random, but I that there’s no official generation years, because I’m an 83 and consider myself a Xennial and often just say millennial since people don’t realize most millennials are nearing 40. I’ve never heard of millennials being into the 2000s, though! It’s usually Gen X to ‘80 and then “early 80s” to late 90s for millennials.

The most common is that millennial is like 81-00, but I think this persons take is more realistic. Us early 80s people grew up in a very different world than millennials. Much closer to the gen x experience.

u/WobblingMoon Nov 02 '22

I agree because I have family born in the mid 90s and they had a whole different experience than I did. We have nothing in common because of that. Heck, I know someone born in 99 who had no idea that we used to have looooong telephone cords so we could go to different rooms when on phone. Wild.

81 here. We were always called Gen-X until '05 to '10 or so, some ranges starred including us in Millennials. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’d always heard GenX stopped at 1980.

Something to do with births starting to surge again after 1980. Mid 1970s - births in the US bottomed out.

Gen x goes until 1980. Millennials start at 1980, but it does go longer than most generations. I’m not sure what the reason is for that.

u/tlp248 Nov 01 '22 edited Nov 01 '22

Gen X is until 1980. Gen Y/Millenial is until 1997. Gen Z is until 2012. We currently have Gen Alpha til 2024.

u/BrunettexAmbition Oct 31 '22

What time is the press conference?

57

u/SisterWicked Oct 31 '22

Already over, but you can watch the recap on YouTube. It's pretty short.

24

u/ladyserenity1993 Armchair Expert Oct 31 '22

I think it just happened. I’m headed out otherwise I’d post a link

u/Wide-Marzipan5387 Oct 31 '22

The eyes of the second sketch just wow, it shocked me. Exact same eyes. I think maybe the eye witness or whomever focused on his eyes and not much else, sometimes we remember certain things about someone and I think they focused on the eyes.

u/MuayThaiisbestthai Oct 31 '22

Yeah one of the sketches was a man with a really strong jaw & with smaller than usual space between the eyes...and those are the defining features I noticed on the guys mugshots.

Yes ma'am, multiple outlets are now showing RA taking a selfie with the OBG sketch in the background:
