While waiting for the Dec 6th hearing, I wanted to share an observation that maybe some of the med sleuths on the forum might have something to say about.
It looks to me that JJD's mugshot shows a scar where his neck meets his upper torso that looks like an older type of surgical evidence of removal of his thyroid gland.
If so, maybe JJD had a diagnosis of Grave's Disease or thyroid cancer at some point in his criminal career. If so, the removal of the gland caused what appears to me to be a surgical scar.
In some of the composites of the rapist , the offender is wearing a full face mask that is closed in by the top buttons of a jacket. You could hide a scar that way I suppose.
So I'm wondering if any med folk see the same thing I am?

Symptoms of Hypothyroidism in Men:
"The symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of hypothyroidism in men are about the same as in women. Hypothyroidism slows down your whole metabolism, so symptoms can affect any organ system," Skugor said.
The most common symptoms are:
Feeling cold
Tiring easily
Dry skin and brittle nails
Constipation
Depression
Trouble concentrating
Sore muscles
Weight gain
Swelling of the thyroid gland, called a goiter
Loss of interest in sex and trouble having erections are symptoms that some men may have. "If you are tired and low on energy, it's not surprising that you will have some loss of interest in sex," says Skugor.
A recent study published in the Urology Journal compared 24 men with hypothyroidism to 66 men without hypothyroidism.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) was evaluated using the International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire, which rates ED on a scale from 5 (severe ED) to 25 (no ED).
The men with hypothyroidism had an average score of 11.75 compared to men without hypothyroidism who averaged 20.81.
