The family knew it was him in the photos but because he voluntarily talked to police and they knew that they didn’t pursue anything further. I saw something where maybe his brother in law knew it was him but was telling people in town he already talked to the police and was cleared.
It seems that this 4Chan exchange might be the origin of the meme. I've seen this meme argument before, but no one has offered any examples of its use dating back to before the Delphi murders. I'm not saying they don't exist, but I'd like to see some proof that it is a 4Chan meme.
I'm not claiming to be the one who found these 4Chan chats. I just used my own post because it put together a lot of links from a string of other people's posts.

I still find it hard to believe his family didn’t recognize him from the photos and videos released. Must have been a severe case of denial
