It's going to be a week and they've yet to release his name even though they lied and said they knew it yesterday. Given this much of a head start, HOPEFULLY, he could be anywhere in the world rn.

Yeah, once you notice it, everybody walks just a little bit funny. Gait detection is one of the only bits of social (as in people, bullet forensics is usually solid) forensics that I can believe whatsoever

    It's valid enough that watching someone walk is used for medical diagnosis

    Anecdotal, but I used to know someone with prosopagnosia (face blindness). They'd frequently identify people from further away than I could, partially due to their gait, whereas I had to wait until I could make out their face.

    It's me, your friend! I can often identify people from behind, better than face-to-face, because the face will just cause a distraction for me to identify. Height, clothes/style, gait, body shape, voice, etc... all of these things are put together quickly for identifying someone, as the face is tricksy to my brain
