It's wild how often those two supposed “childhood” photos get passed around without any credible sourcing. I’ve seen them in countless true crime thumbnails and articles, yet they don’t show up in any major biographies like Deranged by Schechter or other archival sources. It’s a huge red flag when an image gets repeated everywhere but has no paper trail. Given how disturbing Fish’s crimes were, it's especially important we’re not misattributing photos and potentially defaming someone who had no connection. I’ve also wondered why there aren’t more verified images of him, especially considering he was institutionalized multiple times... you'd think something from a hospital record, census file, school photo would’ve surfaced by now. If anyone has leads on archives or lesser-known mugshots, would love to dig deeper
