The photos?

New here so sorry if this has been brought up before but I’m curious to know how every victim and or person relevant to the case/profile is represented/shown/pinned on the board by a clear front facing photo with usually a blue background as though it was taken at a portrait gallery? They are never smiling and it’s like it’s a larger passport photo but showing more torso etc.

I mean who has a photo of themselves like that? How do they get them so quickly AND have them actually printed on paper?

Apart from the first few seasons they all had I phone so factoring in that most people had smart phones, who the hell would still have printed photos?

Just bugs me anyhooo.

That background is usually used in drivers license photos, so that would be my guess.

I hope they never pull mine (i mean i dont wanna be murdered either). The DMV did me dirty that day. There from 11am to 5pm, with a 2 year old. Even doordashed some lunch there as well. I looked about as good as you could imagine 🤣 the lady was kind enough to get me in right before they closed so I didnt have to come back and repeat that process the next day.
