He probably works in Arizona at a Burger King with Elvis

[marktwain]

Why is the examiner handling a delicate photograph with bare hands? First rule of any investigation is do not contaminate or corrupt primary evidence!

Josef Mengele died on a beach in Brazil. If he could get away I'm sure Hitler would have had a way out.

[spencerfrankclayton]

Not only did Josef Mengele escape to Argentina, Adolf Eichmann did as well. Even President Truman thought it was a possibility, and sent troops down there to search for him. Hitler would go to Argentina all the time to visit Eichmann, who had a house there. Truman said if Hitler survived, he'd have definitely the resources to escape there.

The photo was of Moe Howard, a former member of the 3 Stooges.

And as the great Robert Stack from Unsolved Mysteries says "There must be some one somewhere who knows something"----

[InternetDarkLord]

This scene is entirely a fraud. This show first said that the photo was real, but made the mistake of letting viewers see it. Somebody pointed out it was Moe from the Three Stooges. So they cut that scene and replaced it with this one. Some people recorded the first version, giving the game away.

[pedroperezppeez]

The man in the picture is Moe Howard.

STOP EMBARASSING YOURSELVES

[simonjohnston]

"Potential proof positive"... awesome deduction there, man-babies.

[baitclicker]

Final words. "...Plus of course, this dude's black..."

[royalbloodedledgend]

No one wouldn’t recognize Hitler without his mustache

[tritonneptune]

This is the most useless garbage clip I have ever seen. "Well there is no way this picture can be actually of Hither." Moments later "yep this is not Hitlers picture".

[saltymcsaltface]

I like that they don't push their theories on us like Ancient Aliens

[SPACEHARICE]

he's one of the most famous people in the entire world.

[KeyboardBuster]

0:35 "we have to be careful with this"
as he's holding the 50+ year old historical piece of paper with his bare hands.

[joeyanny]

I personally believe that you should share that photo with the public before it becomes lost to history. 1st Amendment Doctrine favors disclosure no matter what you conclusions are regarding the photo.

[keithchrysler]

The shape of one's ear is the equivalent of a fingerprint. Seems easy to determine with all of the movies of him over the years.

[EJFSanchez]

I laughed my @ss off when I found out it was a photo of Moe Howard from the three stooges in the 1970s. Even I can tell it’s moe. Remember when the guy in misiones handed it to the guys. He pulled it out of a mail parcel envelope. The photo itself is a mirrored image of Moe just look st the background lol

[robertcastillojr]

Sounds like they were 'Hunting Boreman'

[jorgebordon]

Guys, I still can't understand why you don't use the photo of A.H that is in Langley, which was sent to you by Philip Citröen the Dutchman (Dutch agent they had on their payroll) If we do an investigation we must do it right.
