It's going to be a week and they've yet to release his name even though they lied and said they knew it yesterday. Given this much of a head start, HOPEFULLY, he could be anywhere in the world rn.

Yeah, once you notice it, everybody walks just a little bit funny. Gait detection is one of the only bits of social (as in people, bullet forensics is usually solid) forensics that I can believe whatsoever

It's valid enough that watching someone walk is used for medical diagnosis

it is used to diagnose problems with their gait, not like cancer or crisis of identity

It's used to diagnose neurological conditions.

Anecdotal, but I used to know someone with prosopagnosia (face blindness). They'd frequently identify people from further away than I could, partially due to their gait, whereas I had to wait until I could make out their face.

It's me, your friend! I can often identify people from behind, better than face-to-face, because the face will just cause a distraction for me to identify. Height, clothes/style, gait, body shape, voice, etc... all of these things are put together quickly for identifying someone, as the face is tricksy to my brain
