Sleuths required to identify suspect in police line-up
« on: Tuesday 05 July 11 20:10 BST (UK) »
Sleuths required to identify suspect in police line-up.

Please identify by indicating position from left edge of screen as you view it (back row only).

NO STANDING ON HEADS.  ;)

A little explaining:-

Dad died just after my first b/d, and I have never been shown a picture of my father that anyone could definitely point out and say, "That's your dad."

Mum first showed me the "suspect" photo in my teens, at which time she was beginning to show early signs of dementia, and couldn't recall if it was a photo of my dad, or one taken by him; none of my siblings can say for sure either.

A copy of the M.O.D. Police photo was recently given to my sister-in-law (my deceased brother's wife) by a friend of hers, the father of whom was a colleague of my dad and both are supposedly in the photo, but no-one knows for sure which is my dad.

My s-i-l and I concur in our conclusion, but I would value anyone else's opinion before revealing our thoughts so as to avoid any bias.

Ironically there was a definite photo of my dad, but one of my sisters sent it to a pen-pal cousin in SA never to be seen again.   :'(

Many thanks for your participation.  ;D

          Judging by the long neck and slightly hollowed cheeks I would hazard a guess at the sixth suspect from the left. Mind you, I wouldn't swear to it in Court.
