If it's not him it seems it would be trivial to prove that, but if any of the information provided to us by law enforcement is true (yea I know big if, but why would a random cop in pennsylvania lie about finding the suspect?) then it's certainly him.

That's a good question. I could see that there might be a lot of downward pressure to find this guy and make an example of him. Maybe they were just happy to find a patsy to take some of the pressure off.
