Charles, you do have a point about the IT and internet revolution. However, I would counter that the prevalence of Photoshop and other image manipulation programs would actually make it easier to fake an identity and hoodwink the public. Just saying...
Charles Drago Wrote:The IT Revolution, I'd say, has forced changes to the doppelganger gang's methodology.
Case in point: James Earl Ray was run through a modified doppelganger operation. The aliases chosen for him -- E. S. Galt is the prime example -- were of real-life individuals whose written descriptions were close enough to Ray's to fool investigators.
Today's easily shared-over-distance photographic images would have rendered this method moot.
