Photo of Sweat after capture

cloudyQ — Mon, 29 Jun 2015 02:57:15 GMT

He has very little facial hair for someone on the run for three weeks. Odd, to me.

My husband always kept his knives sharp enough to use to shave but I doubt this guy could.

Random thoughts!

They believe that they both showered and shaved in the cabins that they broke into.

i immediately thought the same thing - why take time to shave? and it seems the rest of him is not the cleanest........weird.

I think he wanted to look differently than they expected him to look.

Some men don't grow beards thick as others do. My Dad hardly had to shave, but lucky for him always had a full head of hair.

My assumption would also be that a fugitive would do anything to alter their appearance, particularly compared to the mugshot image the general public would be familiar with. If he had access to hair dye I'm sure he would have used it.

He looks like Putin in the photo on CNN's page......

Who can tell? Perhaps he shaved to look different, or he just doesn't grow facial hair like other men.

I know one thing, criminals aren't too smart! I mean did they really think they would get away with this?

It's like when I see mugshots of people on the news who rob banks or whatnot. Ding ding ding, there's cameras now and 90% of them don't bother to cover their face, so they are always caught!

Great thoughts!

Maybe he is ocd about his facial hair. We will probably never know. I just thought it was odd.

Thanks for the ideas.

On the contrary I think they were pretty smart as well as calculating and methodical to escape from a maximum security prison. They were able to manipulate the prison employees to aid them in their escape. The planning took years. Their getaway driver backed out, otherwise they would be long gone. There are hundreds of prison escapees not yet captured and still at large, as we type. He's a cold-blooded killer but he is far from stupid.

The Buffalo News just reported that the two cons split up 5 days ago...because Matt was sick and was slowing down Sweat.

He told people in the hospital that they had originally planned on driving to Mexico and the 3 were going to live happily ever after.

Yeah. Sure.

I think they were planning on killing the woman...but he certainly isn't going to admit that now.

Thanks for the local news updates Terrier. You provide a lot more detail than national outlets. Very interesting!

eta: I NEVER would have said Sweat would dump the other one. That was a shocking piece of information.

The local lead reporter for criminal news, Lou Michele, wrote the book with Timothy McVeigh on his crime and his reasons for doing it. He's a very good reporter.

Two days before Matt was shot & killed, he was left behind. I too was surprised that he turned out to be the big baby of the two.

And yet, even though that's probably true, I wonder how many women will be trying to communicate with him, writing him letters and sending whatever they can?

Even Manson had that young girl recently in the news who wanted to marry him. It takes all kinds.

CNN was interviewing Sweat's mom and my heart went out to her. They were asking the usual stupid questions while she was crying. In the end all she said was "I just want to know what's wrong with my son." That was absolutely heartbreaking.

You're probably right- but instead now he wants to implcate her to the nth degree!

I heard the family, not sure if the mother stated it, wanted to sue as he wasn't treated promptly after capture. I think they should have waited a wee bit longer

haha! I don't hunt but I know lots of folks who do and I've never heard of any of them taking hair dye to their hunting cabin!

Poor Sweat. Such a disappointment to find the medicine cabinet at that rustic hunting cabin didn't have the hair dye he so needed.
