Kevin,

For some reason, I’m having trouble doing that just now. I think that, unless Wheat’s face is asymmetrical, you should be able to do what you suggest with the side by side photos in the previouos post.

I should add that some very prominent individuals who are very familiar with these types of ID techniques have come down on the “This may be Wheat” side of the question.

Harry,

Can you put the photos together again? When examining photos the ears are going to be the truth-teller. Ears are like fingerprints. Are the lobes the same, i.e. connected, separated, etc. ? Does the lower part of the ear align to the same place with the nose/mouth on both photos (draw a line across the face). How about the eye alignment to the ears? And the eyebrows?
