The Geezer Bandit (Somewhat) Identified?

July 12th, 2010 4 comments

There’s been a string of bank robberies down in Southern California, all perpetrated by an individual that the media has dubbed “The Geezer Bandit“.  This elderly bank robber isn’t afraid of being videotaped while holding up banks, and nobody has been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of him on the outside as he makes his getaway.

All of this makes people believe that The Geezer Bandit isn’t an old man at all, but rather an individual wearing a mask.

My question to the FBI is this:  Has anyone checked out this site?  In particular have you studied their masked called “The Elder”?

Here are a few of the photos of The Geezer Bandit in action:

And here is a photo of “The Elder” mask:


Gee…I don’t know about you, but the wrinkles, chin, nose and ears look surprisingly identical.  Could our bank robber be wearing this mask during his heists, then when out of visual contact duck behind a car or building, peel off this mask, then simply blend in with the crowd?

Now, I may not be an FBI agent with years and years of training under my belt, but if I can see the similarities between this mask and facial characteristics of The Geezer Bandit, then I would hope that the authorities could as well.

You have to hand it to SPFXMasks for their amazingly life-like product.  Watching their videos, it’s surprising that more criminals aren’t using these to conceal their identities.
