I commend Peter Damian for his research. His discovery of
this page (click "author" on top) confirms that Erik Kraft is 33 years old. I had already confirmed this two days ago, and said then that it was solid. Now you can take it to the bank (oops, that expression is sort of outdated these days).
Peter also found
another picture of Kraft. Together with
Eric Barbour's discovery we're now able to count the freckles on Mr. Kraft's face. All we lack now is a big right-profile shot.
I differ with Peter when he says that User:Erik's curious complaints about getting outed suggest that the two Eriks are the same person. I look at this same evidence, and I suspect that User:Erik is trying to throw researchers off the track. I believe that Erik Kraft is innocent, and while User:Erik knows this, he is all too willing to toss Kraft to the wolves because it diverts attention from User:Erik's real identity. Once Kraft began responding online, User:Erik sort of went into a mode where he teamed up with Kraft a bit, along the lines of, "We're both getting slammed by Murphy, poor us!"
I don't mind disagreeing with anyone who is doing good research and sharing what they find. But I get upset when people claim they know this or that in some sort of troll offensive, without sharing any research.
By the way, Peter, this was rather hasty on your part:

Today he would be 24 years old. Moreover, that same page says that he was born in Chicago, but there isn't any evidence I've seen that he lives in Chicago.
No they are the same age (33). User:Erik was lying about his age, obviously.
You are just plain wrong here, Peter. It is not at all obvious that he was
lying about his age in 2006. If he was lying, it certainly isn't obvious to me.
I fear that this thread is about to be overtaken by trolls who don't do research. While I think that Peter is drawing the wrong conclusions from some evidence, at least he's looking at evidence.
