"I think he shaved off his beard in order to blend in, as per the terror handbook or his handlers."
I wonder if the 'bearded' picture was taken while he was 'away'(in a madrasa)from school due to 'depression' (religious conversion to Islam)? It would be interesting to know what he looked like the day he blew up and which picture came first..the clean shaved look or the bearded look. Oh well..pieces of a puzzle that we will probably never hear about. (rolling eyes)
I think the 2002 pic is his Senior High school pic.
Reporting now about what I did a little earlier. Tin foilers, pay attention.
Hoping to find the possible roommate's name, I had already done a reverse search on the address and couldn't even get Hinrichs to come up.
If it's like it used to be on campus, the Parkview Apartments are essentially University property, so the main phone directories may or may not have the individual street addresses listed.
In point of fact, the regular reverse search directories for residential (it skips any commercial addresses) show only 2 people living on Sooner Drive in Norman, OK, both in a different hundred block from Hinrichs's addy. LOL, all right, that answers that.
I also did George Ave. and Stinson, just to be sure. All the people who live in the apartments at 1415 George Ave do show up, listed individually. I'm not sure those Ashley Apartments are University-owned, but they were evac'ed just like the Parkview Apts. residents Sunday.
The next thing I did was try to find the Pakistani Students Association on campus. That's where things got weird.
I found a list, which appeared to be undated, of the majority of the Pakistanis living in Norman, compiled by the PakiStudentAssoc. It was very small, so not comprehensive.
Again, thinking it was undated, I ran each and every name through the current OU People directory where Hinrichs is listed. Most of them were no longer students there (that's where the "undated/dated" thing comes in), but nearly all the ones who were lived at one of two addresses, one on S. Webster and the other on Wadsack--none on our target streets of Sooner Dr., George Ave. or Stinson.
Then, I went back to the PSA main page and lo and behold, it was "last updated" in 1998! LOL.
I don't know what the magic number of 1998 was, other than that was the year the PSA won "best association on campus and best website" awards, because I found some further info up to 2001, which then dovetails into the Boren/Pakistani/Parkview info posted above.
Going to continue this into a separate post.
