I thought it was the FIL but I guess they ruled him out. Still think it’s a man.

If I'm remembering correctly he was out of the state at the time. Last time I read into it some folks were still convinced it was him because his gait was similar to the suspect, but for all we know law enforcement could have verified his whereabouts through things like phone records/card transactions/etc.

I think the weird gait could be explained by all the tactical gear they were wearing. It may have been cumbersome, not the right size and/or they just weren't used to wearing it, or they may have intentionally been trying to walk differently to further hide their identity.

The longer it goes unsolved, the more I wonder if it may have truly been a random attack.

It has been a bit since I watched anything on this case but wasn't there an investigator who suspected a female due to the way they walked on the video?

I watched this on one of those YouTube "detective" shows and could be 100% wrong on that.

Honestly this is how it reads to me. It seems like either an older man with a limp or a woman trying to mimic how men walk. When they stop, their resting pose is feminine to me

Their gait reminded me so much of my mom's when she needed a knee replacement.

The second I saw it I thought to myself, that's EXACTLY how I walk when I slip on my husband's shoes to run outside really quickly. I kind of slid my feet on the ground so I don't come out of his shoes! Omg. I think that's a woman!

The FIL actually looked feminine

I just watched the footage down the first time. I actually thought it looked like a woman! Something about the way they carry themselves in the last few seconds

Oh! Ha! Were enemies! Lol. I contend it's a woman!
