One of the things that's irritated me concerning John Carr is the lack of photographs of him as an adult. The main photo used in Zeman's docu-series is of John as a boy with his bangs swept across his forehead maybe eight or nine year old. The picture this is taken from a larger photo that shows what appears to be a little girl with John and possibly an adult. I get the sneaking suspicion that the little girl is his younger sister Wheat Carr and the adult is Papa Sam Carr. If in fact the girl in the photo is Wheat Carr; John Carr was even younger than eight or nine. This was the photo used to match with police sketches over and over and in the docu-series and Terry's book as well. Remember the police didn't do that comparison and I don't think they would've attempted to do so with such an old photo. Maury Terry was the one trotting the picture all over of what appears to be an eight or nine year old boy, possibly younger; to identify someone who was twenty-nine to thirty years old at the time of his possible involvement in the crimes. That doesn't seem like very good method.
The other photos I've seen of John Carr alive are two from Sacred Heart School as a boy and one long shot of him sitting at a table in profile with a beer somewhere. Then there are the two death scene photos. The last three of these photos show us very little about John in any detail.
That's six photographs. SIX.
Where are all the pictures of this guy?
Homeless people probably have more than six photos for Pete's sake!

 This is the only clear, in-focus image I have seen of John Carr. Looks like a high school yearbook, possibly his lone freshman year at Sacred Heart? In my high school the underclassmen only got thumbnail-sized portraits into the yearbook, but if this was a smaller school I guess they could have went with larger portraits. There’s also a picture of him leaning on a wall in his army fatigue jacket that was shown in the Netflix shows, but aside from that, what I’ve posted here and the out-of-focus close-up that’s typically used to compare with the SOS sketch (posted by curiows), I can’t think of any others. So I’m stuck at only 3 different (not counting the gruesome, faceless pics from T.U.E.). I’ve also tried to find the Michael Carr wedding photo (?) where he’s standing there with Wheat and Sam, but have had no luck there. The Netflix show was the first and only time I’ve seen that image. There was a lot of good archival material in that miniseries. |
