Showing Original Post only (View all)This is weird: photos of kidnapped fbi agent robert levinson [View all]
Last edited Sat Jan 12, 2013, 06:33 AM - Edit history (1)
Nearly six years after the disappearance in Iran of private investigator Robert Levinson, and two years after his family received an anonymous email confirming that the former FBI agent was still alive, five photographs taken by Levinson's captors have been released. "I am here in Guantanamo," reads a sign Levinson is holding in one photo. "Do you know where it is?"
According to U.S. investigators who spoke with crackerjack AP reporters Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman, yes they do: Levinson is probably in an Iranian secret prison.

But one reader notes:
Something seems strange here - why do these images match almost 100% to the "computerized" image seen here from an article in March that claims to be only a "depiction" of what he'd look like today?
The hairstyle matches too perfectly for one to be a rendering based on a 5+year old photo, and the other to be an actual recent photo. Not a hair out of place on his head or beard?

Here's the picture from March (far right), supposedly a computer-generated picture of what he 'might' look like after the time elapsed from his disappearance. left is picture from before capture, middle is from 2011 during captivity.
another weird thing is that fat levinson looks almost exactly like one of my old bosses.

Yeah, the cowlick at the left part in his hair in the progressed image and the real one seems fishy.

That's what I think. There are various theories you could put forth for the fishiness.

the official explanation for 911 is a conspiracy theory. organized crime is a conspiracy theory.
