A flight attendant snapped a photo of a man with similar hair and build to Laundrie’s near an unnamed hotel in Toronto. She said the man appeared “flustered” as he got out of the hotel and drove away in a car with another man, the U.K.’s Sun reported.

“I’m not sure if this looks like him or if I just fell too far down the rabbit hole,” the woman said in a social media post. “You can see the dip in his mustache and the ears are bent down [in the photo], but my ears bend down when I wear a face mask,” she offered.

The woman said she told hotel staff about the man’s likeness to Laundrie and was told “he didn’t know where he was going and he had the wrong hotel.”

2. Mexico

A picture circulated on Twitter appears to show a man at a restaurant in Mexico who many claim resembles Laundrie. The viral photo reportedly emerged a day after a warrant was issued for Laundrie’s arrest. His parents reported him missing last Friday, telling police he hadn’t returned from a hike at a nature preserve in Sarasota, Fl.
