Context.
Authenticity.
Chain of custody.

Why Resemblances Fool People
Human beings are remarkably skilled at recognizing faces.
Yet this ability sometimes creates unexpected problems.
Our brains are designed to identify familiar patterns quickly.
As a result, we occasionally perceive matches that are not actually present.
A stranger may remind us of a friend.
An actor may resemble another celebrity.
A person in a photograph may look strikingly familiar despite being someone entirely different.
This phenomenon becomes even more powerful when viewers already expect a specific outcome.
If someone is told a photograph contains a famous person, they may become more likely to interpret ambiguous features accordingly.
The result can be sincere but mistaken identification.

This enduring visibility helps explain why stories about him continue attracting attention.
The public remains interested.
