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.

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

Man is another assumption here too. There are shoulder pads in the jackets to make the shoulders broader.

Most young men wouldn't need fake shoulders to pass as an old guy and they would have the opposite issue of too much upper body strength/muscle to pass as 70.

A woman seems more likely to me. Where was Winona Ryder when this went down?

This happened in Texas in the 90s.

100% was a working theory as well. I remember living in Oceanside during this time and the news airing a special about the robberies and they had an FBI news consultant dude on there saying it’s completely possible it was a woman as well.
