Has Donald Eugene Webb been found!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

crystaldawn · 06-04-2006, 08:25 PM

A friend of mine from the board came across a composite sketch on the doe network that they thought resembled Donald Eugene Webb. They notified the people at the doe network and officials are currently investigating to see if it could be him. Very interesting!! We're anxious to know everyone's opinion if you think it looks like him (also the location found and age seem to match). I must say I think it bears a very strong resemblance to Webb, expression and all, and wouldn't be a bit suprised if it was him. I know they will update us when they find out for sure if it turns out to be him or not.

Wow! It does look like him! I mean, how many people have a face like that?

Goofyman · 06-04-2006, 08:57 PM

That's a gruesome sketch...if it is him...wow.

spark19 · 06-04-2006, 09:12 PM

Wow...that really DOES look like him. Not only that, but according to his profile on the fbi's website: http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/fugitives/webb.htm , he fits the height and weight for the man on the doenetwork site.

Wow, this is exciting! Was it someone from this board who made the connection?

Yes it was one of our own with the eagle eye. They're still waiting to hear back from doe whether or not it matches and then I'm sure they'll post more about it.

Awsi Dooger · 06-04-2006, 09:54 PM

I guess my opinion will be obvious: default to massive probability and say no, it's not him.

I'll root to be wrong but the guy in the sketch seems more like a transient, teeth removed and doesn't wear false teeth. Then check out the description of Webb; likes to dine in fine restaurants and is a big tipper. Doesn't seem like a match unless Webb fell off the deep end while on the run

Should be simple enough to check, given the tattoo specifics from Webb's profile. But if it's him, why wouldn't the blurb from the composite mention the tattoo of the names, Ann and Don?

Unless the body was so badly decomposed those tattoos were gone. After all, it says dead for 6 to 8 months. That's also a reason to question how accurate the composite is.

I can hardly believe you don't agree Awsi.

It possible its not him, we'll know soon enough but you can't dispute they do resemble each other. For them to say he doesn't wear dentures....how do they know if he was found dead 6 months later? Yes I'm assuming why they made no mention of tattooes on him, because he was so badly decomposed (imagine what a body would look like after 6 months of Florida heat) they were probably gone by the time he was located.

As for fine dining, an elderly man on the run for decades isn't going to have money or be stupid enough when he's on the top ten list to be out fine dining not to mention I would definitely think he didn't have any money and was pretty much forced to live like a transient.

Mr. Fuji · 06-04-2006, 11:54 PM

Crystaldawn, that's amazing! The resemblance is definitely startling: look at the hairline, the nose, the jawline, everything. Plus the fact he was found in Florida, and he's the same age and body size! Check out the side-by-sides:

Let's hope it's him!

Awsi Dooger · 06-05-2006, 01:10 AM

There must have been some reason for them to mention he didn't wear false teeth. A collapsed mouth? No denture marks on the inside of the mouth? Maybe slurred speech.

JimmyHendricks · 06-05-2006, 02:09 AM

I'm not seeing the Unidentified picture. D'oh!

Kane · 06-05-2006, 10:19 AM

The way I see it, the chances of it being Donald Eugene Webb are 50/50.

hovaslash · 06-05-2006, 10:48 AM

Maybe that P.O. box can be located. Its contents would be vital to finding his identity. Personally, I find it hard to believe he would not have sold or exchanged that rifle for some of the more basic needs transients have-assuming that we really are dealing with a transient. Since no cause of death is given, it could just be someone who had a heartattck on a hunting excursion. I would love it to be Webb, however, considering he did most of his damage in my town!

My sentiments exactly.

kadrmas15 · 06-05-2006, 06:42 PM

Wow, I was surprised how much the picture of that man found and Donald Webb look alike. Even if it isnt Webb that guy sure as hell could have passed for him. A lot of the stuff matches up though. Webb was known to be a guy that would probably be hiding out in Florida. Apperantly he loved the warmer climate. The man found in Florida was between 60 and 70 years old. The man in Florida apperantly died sometime in 1995 when Donald Webb would have been in his mid 60's. The height and weight of the two men was very similar. Obviously there is a good chance this isnt Webb however there is also a good chance that it is. Like I said even if this man isnt Webb he sure as heck could pass for him.

The reason I said "50/50" is because I want to be careful not to get my hopes up too high. That way, I avoid getting too excited about the lead, only to have all that excitement dashed when the lead is disproven. That rule of thumb is especially important to a detective.
