Probably been dragged over the coals before, but, I noticed occupation etc seems to be mixed up between Damien and Jesse?

You're right there Expi.

I also noted the fact that they were all listed as having a 'ruddy complexion', rather interesting.

I was really tempted to let this section go a full year with no posts, but I decided to post anyway.

I'm reading Blood Of Innocents right now and they mention Damien gave the occupation of "roofer" his first time being questioned at the station. 

Maybe they did get the jobs mixed up and the authors pulled that from the arrest reports?

I am also noting that under Social security number Baldwin and Jesse have the same all 9's. Damien's is blacked out. Was there a reason why the social security numbers went down as all 9's ?

[MachaSidhe]

more then likely for privacy issues. SS numbers aren't suppose to be released. I know there is a SS death index, but that is really be used for genealogical purposes at least that's what I've used it for.

It is standard to use 9s when you don't know the number.  For example, a social security number would be listed as 999-99-9999.  A phone number would be 999-999-9999. 

When we copied the documents we black out certain information for privacy, such as their ssn, phone number, license plate, even part of their birth date.  That's one reason it takes time to get the documents online.  You have to go through them and crop and edit.

All three guys have on light-colored shirts.  Coincidence, or did they stop wearing black after the murders?

[RaymondJames]

thanks, thats what i figured.

Hi--I am new here, used to believe that the three were innocent and wrongly convicted, and now I believe that I was a moron for having thought that way.  Regarding the pictures above, Jason's shirt looks oddly like a deputy sheriff's uniform shirt, or something like that.  I'm sure most of you are already aware, but it is something that just caught my eye that I'm not sure I noticed before.  Nice site---looking forward to learning more and commenting only when a modicum of intelligence is likely to be imparted.  ;)

Hi Drew -- actually I never noticed that before about Jason's shirt. 

[BlackAngel]

Hi Drew

And welcome, I can say I never noticed that either.

The shirts that Damien and Jason were wearing when arrested were collected as evidence:

Apparently, Damien's mug shot was taken before his shirt was collected.  There's a video of him (probably the next day) in the same type of shirt Jason was given at the police station.

Damien helped Jack Echols with roofing for a short time.
