Take a look at these two images, one identified as suspect Croes. Could these be the same individual? The ears seem very similar - but I am not sure. If so, it could have tremendous ramifications for this case.
Update: Get a grip folks - posting two images people have placed on the Internet is not smearing anyone. I asked a simple question. I could have done it just as easily by linking to two different places. Stop over-reacting to every thing. Another comparison of two images.


The Steve oswald croes that just posted, I'd want to see a pic of you with todays date on it. I say those two are the same person. look at the eyes, the nose and the cheeks, those are features that don't drastically change, even if you gain weight.

I know Roel and he does work at the Red Cross.
I do not know any of the Steve Croes but let me
clear this up. Steve Croes is subscribed to
Air Aruba VIRTUAL AIRLINES. I'm the president of the virtual company which simulates airline operations based on Flight Simulator.
This means that he probably isn't a real pilot
& even if he is Aruba doesn't have any airline
at this time.
Kind regards,
Hyro

They certainly look like the same person to me!

I think the pictures are of the same guy. He is older and more mature in the thinner version. The one with cap on is probably during high school. Still,...very curious about the importance of two different pictures?
Forgive me but I dont remember who mentioned here that the family should ask for help from a psychic? Indeed a very good idea. I don't see that it would be detrimental and it might give the family some ideas as to where to search.
Great blog, Dan. I look forward to meeting you tonight on Fox.

They comparison picture Dan has up now is in fact the same guy. The controversy he was referring to is about two pictures he had posted earlier today of two guys named Steve Croes (one in the hat) and another one. He has since taken down one of them, I assume because everyone was complaining. ????

Same guy. I must have missed the picture that everyone was bickering about...because these two obviously are of the same person.

Croes is a very common name on the island,would not suprise me if i came across 3 " steven croes"
But the 2 guys side each other are the same guy,doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out!
The one on the left is just a younger pictre of him,with facial hair and much thinner!
Right is just without facial hair,more recent picture and with a few pounds extra

It looks like the same person to me, including the ears, eyes , nose and brow. With one exception.. he's put on some weight. Would be interesting to know how far apart in time these pictures were taken.

Whom ever wrote the comment about the fatter one being him younger its not.. thats him now.. I met him last week. I def think they are both steve.. and i really hope he has nothing to do with this.. from wat I know of him when I met him hes a pretty nice guy..my friends and i were with him just about all week .. i even dropped him off in his car to the police station the first time... but sometimes i guess that can be an act

This looks like the same guy to me, shown with Joran at a party. All 3 pics are shown together.

That 3rd pic is def not steve... the head shapes are different and the ears are VERY different. He looks nothing like that in person

It's the same guy people. He is only a few years older and a bit heavier. Note the sag under the eyes on the cheek bones in both pictures. The noses are the same as are the ears and eyes. So what if it is?
Posted by: Gad | Thursday, June 23, 2005 at 03:14 PM
Not the same guy. Ramifications, if this were the same guy which it's not, would be that Croes statement to the police- that he didn't know the suspects- would be a lie.

It's the same guy; I'd bet a large piece of money on it. He is alot thinner in the one picture, but it's definitely the same features!! Hey, the guy is a DJ on some booze cruise party boat, right? He's a partyer; drinker, probably. Doesn't take long for the "good life" to take it's toll! It's not hard to gain weight, (just hard to lose it!)
