SANDY HOOK CONSPIRACY THEORY DEBUNKED

by Joelle Steele

In November 2016, Shill Murray posted the following article on crisisactorsguild.com about debunking the 2012 Sandy Hook conspiracy theory that said some massacred students were never murdered and were seen performing at the Super Bowl. I was consulted to analyze the faces of the students and the performers to determine if they were the same children. This is the main portion of Murray's article.

UPDATE: Fast forward to October 2022, and Alex Jones, proponant of this conspiracy theory, was ordered to pay almost $1 billion dollars as part of three defamation lawsuits against him for falsely claiming that the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, was a hoax.

AN ACTUAL EXPERT WEIGHS IN ON THE SANDY HOOK
SUPER BOWL CHOIR CONSPIRACY THEORY

I rushed this post: Debunking Claims Made About The Child Victims Of Sandy Hook. Unlike the willfully ignorant clowns that populate the Sandy Hook denialist cult, I like to know what I’m talking about before I run my mouth. Finally, it came time to put an end to the absurd notion that the child victims of Sandy Hook not only faked their participation in the attack, but magically changed appearance, aged three years, and then performed at Super Bowl Super Bowl XLVII two months later.

This unbridled insanity has resulted in the coordinated stalking of one young girl in particular, led by Wolfgang Halbig and Tony Mead of Absolute Moving, Plantation, Florida, and I needed to be sure that I had an actual understanding of anthropometry (defined as “the scientific study of the measurements and proportions of the human body”) and facial analysis to debunk it, since that’s what this goofball claim is based upon.

I figured the best way to do that would be to pick up a book on the subject, the most relevant and comprehensive of which I found to be Face to Face by Joelle Steele, released in 2013, and based on her more than thirty years experience in the field. I reached out to Joelle, who offers facial features/ear comparison services to authenticate identities of faces in photographs.

I introduced myself as a blogger who has spent a lot of time researching the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. I told her that I wanted her honest, unbiased opinion, and that I would gladly pay her for it up front. Joelle wrote back and said that she was willing to do the work, but would need at least three high-quality photographs of each subject so that she could enlarge them for analysis, as is her standard procedure. In return, I sent over the absolute best photographs that I could find – three of each girl – for her approval.

Shortly thereafter, Joelle emailed back. This is her reply, in its entirety:

This is a real no-brainer. I don’t even have to measure anything to tell you these are not the same girls. I can see at a glance how far off they are in terms of appearance. And age has nothing to do with this comparison at all. The face lengthens and teeth can change with age, but those are irrelevant in this comparison. Here’s what I immediately see:

Ears don’t match in shape, pattern, and placement on head.
Jaws don’t match, most evident in smiling views.
Chins don’t match and don’t look alike either.
Eyes don’t match in orbits and lids.
Pupil distance proportions don’t match.
Forehead proportions don’t match.
Nose length and width proportions don’t match.
Brow ridges don’t match.
