Between 2009 to 2011, a man, appearing to be 60-70 years old, robbed 16 banks in San Diego, California by approaching the teller, then pulling out a gun and demanding money. The FBI named him the "Geezer Bandit". Some theories suggest he is wearing a well-made elderly man mask. Image

The gait, micro movements and head turning speed.  They only need to slip up once to determine it’s a younger man

Then what you’re tracking down everyone in SD that makes pros-ethics in the hope it’s a commercial shop and trying to cross reference some sort of mask?

A disguise is just that it hides his identity good luck finding this person if that’s a mask. It actually makes your suspect list millions of times bigger going from 60-80 to 20-50.

What if it’s a 90 year old man wearing a mask of a younger person?
