Is That Really James Holmes in the Red Hair Pics?

Alleged Aurora, Colo. shooter James Holmes seems to have led a scant online life, but authorities are reportedly looking at a profile on an adult sex site that could belong to him — complete with photos of a young man with dyed red hair, much like Holmes was said to have.

According to TMZ and Mediaite, police are working to determine the authenticity of the profile on AdultFriendFinder.com belonging to “classicjimbo,” listed as a 24-year-old male from Aurora, Colo. At the top of the profile is the question, “Will you visit me in prison?”

In the profile, “Holmes” describes himself as “a nice guy. Well, as nice enough of a guy who does these sort of shenanigans.“ The profile says he is heterosexual and seeking a sexual relationship with ”women, couples (man and woman),“ and ”groups or couples (2 women).”

As Mediaite noted, there are discrepancies between the profile and what authorities have said about Holmes: The user-listed birth date is Dec. 10, 1987 while official reports have said his date of birth is Dec. 13, 1987. Additionally, “Holmes” lists his height at six feet, while the FBI has said he is six-foot-three, according to TMZ.

Aurora police have not released Holmes’ booking photo, which would be more recent than the University of Colorado-released image and could possibly provide a better comparison. Still, do you think the photos of the man with red hair match the known photo of Holmes?

Update: TMZ reports AdultFriendFinder has confirmed the website was created by Holmes:

Sources at the website tell TMZ they have confirmed it was created by Holmes. We’re told they tracked the IP address back to Aurora, CO and the account info for the profile (such as the address and DOB) matched up with Holmes.

[...]

Holmes created the profile on July 5 and last logged in to the site sometime in the past three days.

Law enforcement is currently looking at the profile to determine its authenticity and relevance, but website sources tell us … they have not been contacted yet.

Update II: BulletPeople.com points out that the second red-haired photo featuring a woman appears to be Photoshopped:

Here’s the original photo of the woman, apparently taken from the “Extreme Friend” mobile app:

      He looks like he is on drugs in both pictures. He was scientifically educated enough to make any type of drug he would take if that is the case. He is evil. There is nothing mental about him. He got bored with his life and there is but one explaination for his actions and that would be he drugged himself up. He managed to get through all that schooling and education so he was not crazy until something affected his reasoning to the point he became a mass murderer. This man is where he is because of his actions that had to have been precipitated by some drugs. He did not just all of a sudden beccome the evil person he is without some help of some kind. If he had problems all along it would be a fair indicator of what his future behavior would have been. There has to be something factored in that brought him this quickly to the point he murdered and maimed innocents in a movie theatre. Drugs would be my best guess.

      In all fairness, they probabably asked her if she had a son named James Holmes, described where he lived and him, his age, etc., and then the mother said would have said “yes that’s hime.” The rest seems to me to be someone’s imagination trying to make it look like they described his crimes and she said “yes, that’s him.” I doubt the latter happened. The former seems more reasonable. I think someone is lying again because some media wants the drama.

      It is possible that this man is schizophrenic. He is in the right age group for that.If you remember, in the Gifford’s shooting, that man also had mental problems. It seems to me that only the sane people who do not wish to pay for their crimes commit suicide. The ones who are less mentally stable do not resist arrest or kill themselves.

      @BOUGHT YOUR SILO YET?
      I like it when hot women call me ‘sweetie’. However when its used as a pajorative it sounds crass and juvenille. You can do better. Most college kids are using mom and dads credit cards. Why didn’t mom and dad notice such a large amount of ordance being charged to their accounts?

      Yes he was crazy but so was Van der Lubbe.
      I usually eschew conspiracy theories. I believe Oswald acted alone, I believe 9/11 happened the way we all saw it happen, I do not believe Roosevelt conspired to allow Dec 7th to occur and I believe there is gold in Ft. Knox.
      I am not sure this is anything more than a crazy lone gunman. But there are some glaring inconsistencies. Perhaps if I knew more about abnormal psychology I wouldn’t think so, but I don’t and I do.

      He was a college student, so “credit sweetie” is apt. College students are eligible for all kinds of credit, regardless of income. Even if you discount the credit cards, other articles mention that he dropped out of his classes. In all probability he dropped out right after his student loans/grants/poor-down-trodden-welfare funds were released, so he would have had plenty of money available, especially if he saved some of his funds from previous disbursements. Other articles intimate that he isn’t from a poor background, so there may also be “living” money from one or both of the parents.

      1. Died red hair the public was not suppose to be told about
      2. Told police he was the joker, and public was not to be told about
      3. Choose couples and children to fire at and passed on single EMO types.
      4. No female friends and his web site was taken down just like Tryvon Martin’s.

      The news media is frantically working to cover up the facts of this historic event that Holmes is homosexual. It seems that he must have been wearing night vision because he was selecting his targets.

      Ballistic helmets, bullet proof vests, ballistic groin protection, ballistic neck protection, tear gas canisters, night vision, sophisticated explosives and planning. What kind of training and sources does all of this point to? What kind? And what is the public being told.

      We were warned that Democrats would have to resort to murder because they have tried everything and are still going to loose the election.

      But, until very recently, people who commit these horrific acts would usually kill themselves. He did not. Was he hoping for “suicide by cop?” Is he thinking he’ll get off? Don’t really want to get inside his mind, ya know?
