I remember seeing on unsolved mysteries how his doctor treated the man that said he was booth and the doctor said, john booth had a major scar on himthis man has no scar,John Booth was six feet something real tall,this man is six feet something really short, john booth had a huge ankle,this man has a small ankle,but this is defintely john booth.I used to think that the theory that Booth escaped was absurd and loony, but when I delved into it, I was surprised to find that even back then there was considerable doubt that the man who was killed in the Garrett barn was actually Booth.
I'm not sure about either of the men who have been suggested as the escaped Booth, but I agree that there are some serious, gaping holes in the identification of the body from the Garrett farm as Booth's body.

There is a lot more evidence than these articles mention, but they are a decent start. As chance would have it, I am trying to find some articles I wrote on the subject around six years ago. I forgot to transfer them to my Google Drive when I moved my homepage from Arvixe to Google Sites. I'm hoping they're on one of my backup flash drives.
He was obviously afraid for his life to come out and say the man they dfound and said was john booth was not him because he would be killed if he had so thats why he confirmed he was john wilkes booth but subtley and brilliantly dropping hints it was not him.
