Uhhhh? It shows a face of a man with a beard, and during Jesus’s time most men had a beard. It could belong to anyone of that period. Is there blood on it? Did they do a DNA investigation? Is it a blood type that doesn’t exist? Believers will believe whatever they want to believe. If you believe it, then believe it.

... She said it would not be unusual for something to be written on a burial cloth in order to indicate the identity of the deceased. ... And no forger could have possibly known that. Is that it?

Why would Jesus have a blood type that doesn’t exist?

I’d be interested in studying some known samples of cloth circa 32AD or so. A quick search on the internet yielded nothing. Any such ideas?

Uhhhh? It shows a face of a man with a beard, and during Jesus’s time most men had a beard. It could belong to anyone of that period. Is there blood on it? Did they do a DNA investigation? Is it a blood type that doesn’t exist? Believers will believe whatever they want to believe. If you believe it, then believe it. Actually, it shows images of the face and the whole body, both frontal and dorsal, of a naked man who has been scourged and crucified in the exact same manner Jesus Christ suffered as described in the Gospels.
Yes, there are blood stains on the Shroud. Some scientists claim it is AB Negative, a rare type more commonly found in the middle east among semitic peoples. It also apparently matches the blood on the Soudarium of Oviedo, said to be the cloth that was placed over Jesus' head, which has been kept in the Cathedral of Oviedo Spain since the 6th Century. The blood stains on the Sudarium bear over 70 points of congruence with blood stains on the Shroud.
The DNA on the Shroud is too degraded and to contaminated to be of any use.

Goggled Sudarium and went to their site. Fascinating that supposedly two different images that match and the shroud is a fake? Not hardly I'd say.
