Maybe I’m just face-blind or being dense but the photos from the scene of the crime look like a different dude than the ginning hostel check in guy. The jackets and backpacks are different. Although people can have multiple jackets and backpacks. We don’t see much of the shooters face but the eyebrows look different. Although, people can pluck/shave eyebrows. I guess the happy hostel guy would have come forward and been like “WTF?” and “I have an alibi” if it wasn’t him?

The killer seems pretty competent, having multiple jackets and backpacks and switching things up to make it harder to track him doesn't seem unreasonable.

    I mean, surely you'd bring clothes that look a bit different, though...? As far as I'm able to tell, the only notable similarity between the two is that the clothes look superficially similar...

    And what proof do you have of the killer doing that? The only reason they posted the other dude is because he has a vaguely similar outfit style (backpack + hood, which is incredibly common among younger people, especially during this type of weather). If I were the killer I'd not switch into similar clothes, but something completely different.

    No, dumbass. They're obviously getting confused and mixing people up...

    Why so aggressive? They might not be confused. They could just as easily be deliberately lying to frame someone else since the real killer is gone and that makes them look bad.

    Hanlon's razor: never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    That said, we're talking cops here, who are notorious both for being malicious (ACAB) and stereotypically incompetent, often at the same time, so the usual odds (which massively favour incompetence, hence the adage) might not apply.

    Also, a lot of people feel sympathy for this particular murderer (and / or enough well justified, earned, and deserved antipathy towards the victim that it overcomes what antipathy towards murderers they might normally have), so they might be aggressive towards anyone who appears to favour him getting caught.
