It is just amazing to watch you folks preparing your talking points against something that will challenge your echo-chamber myths, and to watch you talk yourselves into dismissing whatever evidence is about to be presented before you have even seen one second of the documentary or read one line of the article. Obviously, you are not going to consider this evidence with anything approaching an open mind, but you're going to strain and reach to find any excuse to dismiss it and/or ignore it.

What talking points? Most of the previous posts are all about trying to figure out when this documentary is to be broadcast, within a few days per your earlier announcement:

The evidence involves a computer-assisted facial scanning analysis done by a recognized expert in the field.

The facial scanning analysis was conducted on photos of Booth and of another person. The photos of the other person were taken long after April 1865. The expert who conducted the analysis was very skeptical going into the study; in fact, the expert expected the scanning analysis to prove that the two persons were not the same individual.

The expert was so astounded by the results that they ran the analysis numerous times to ensure the software and the equipment were not malfunctioning. According to the expert and their team, the comparison scanning results show that it is virtually certain that the two sets of photos are of the same person. If these results are valid, they mean that Booth could not have died in April 1865.

This scientific evidence will also be published in an article in a major publication, but I'm not at liberty to say more about the article. I have not read the article but have been given a general summary of it.

Once the documentary is broadcast and the article is published, I will come back and post links to them.

Usually tv channels promote/schedule a program weeks in advance before it airs, lest they end up with too low viewership. If the Mummies Unwrapped program isn't the one you were referring to, then at least some people on the forum who might be interested in the program, and have cable, are now aware of it if they want to see it. Thank you for your promise to give the broadcast details before the program airs so all interested parties can evaluate the quality of evidence.

I have no knowledge of what specific photograph is being analyzed or the quality of the evidence linking the photograph to the known photographs of Booth. For the sake of argument, supposing they are able to prove that it's a new previously unknown photograph of Booth, that doesn't necessarily prove that image comes from after Booth's death.
