   LOOKING PAST THE DISGUISES      

Compare the features in the separate photos of each of these fugitives and former fugitives.  The differences are obvious, but so are the similarities if you look closely.  If you were trying to ID one of these subjects, would you be able to recognize them?

The photo on the right was taken when the fugitive was
apprehended - 25 years after the mug shot was taken. 
The protruding pointed ears of the subject are concealed
by his hair in the earlier photo but the style of the mustache 
and beard remain unchanged.

A beard can conceal the chin line and neck but the eyebrows, ears, hair color and style and style of the mustache of this subject are too similar to overlook.
