I really had hoped that they were because that would mean that KFG lived. Unfortunately, KFG has still not been found yet.Last edited by ListenPlease; 4/23/2012 10:37am, .

Yeah, It sucks, I know.Last edited by ListenPlease; 4/23/2012 12:32pm, .

You misunderstand, a person can shrink while alive. Especially from extreme malnutrition.
as for the smaller shoe, it is possible he was wearing a size to small.
this is all conjecture, and i know i'm reaching here. but, with the maxillofacial trauma matching the video's injury and the skeletal match up on the facial measurements, i find it very hard to dismiss john doe as kung fu guy.
also, that 6'1ish height measurement is also taking his afro into account. could be an extra inch and a half right there.

A size 9 shoe is indicitive of a man of smaller stature. Sorry, I'm not trying to be pessimistic here, I'm just trying to help.

I would think he would've wore a shoe that was larger than his foot, not smaller...just a guess based on the fact that he was homeless and probably did alot of walking.
Also, I did not include KFG's afro in my measurements...

Extosis...
Found that exostosis may be common in the homeless?...take a look...

if left untreated it would get bigger and bigger?
...and yes, I realize KFG, John Hardy/John Doe probably weren't surfers but most likely they were exposed to cold weather alot of the time

He is surely naive and a little narcistic but calling him a retard (etc)
feels very wrong.

Originally posted by SifuAbelI'm 5'8" and wear a 10. Shoe size can vary from person to person. Being taller doesn't necessarily mean a big foot, or vice versa.
The main factor here is that there's a huge difference in the height of these two men.
KFG= 6 feet 1.5 inches
John Hardy = 5'7-5'8"
BIG DIFFERENCE.
I only used the clothes and the shoes to support the fact that John Hardy was shorter than KFG.
6-7 inches is a lot to be "off by" in the initial height estimate of John Hardy even with "bone shrinkage."
Surely the coroner must've been more accurate in his height estimate of John Hardy than be off by 6-7 inches. The skeletal remains were found intact in a sleeping bag under a bridge after having been there for about a year.

As far as the shoe goes, it's excellent for establishing a timeframe, but not great for establishing height. If you had only 1 shoe, would you really care if it "fit"?
Also, in your analysis, did you measure to the top of the head/hair? That would add unnecessary error to your measurement of KFG's height.
Just stuff to look at. I'm not trying to force an ID here, just try to sort out the conflicting evidence.Now darkness comes; you don't know if the whales are coming. - Royce Gracie

I wish I could overlook the difference in height but I can't.
exostosis looks as though it may be common in the homeless living in cold weather environments?
I did not include KFG's hair/afro in my measurements. Even without doing the calculations, I could tell that KFG is/was much taller than WD. It's obvious throughout the video even though it's a VHS.
Guess we need some good ole' fashioned DNA testing to be sure.
I want to believe it's him but I don't think so.
PS. forget the shoe, you're focusing on the wrong thing. Look at the big picture.
