Philadelphia Police just sent out an advisory to the media, alerting us that a Facebook group called "Catch the Kensington Strangler Before He Catches Someone You Love," had posted a picture of ... someone ... that is not the Kensington Strangler:

From the advisory:

Attention Facebook Users: This message is an official message from the Philadelphia Police Department. The photograph of a male displayed on this Fan Page, Triz Jefferies which has been posted as a suspect wanted in the Kensington Strangler case IS NOT CORRECT. According to the Philadelphia Police Department, this male is NOT a suspect and is not wanted in reference to these crimes. 

To administrators of this site and users: please remove, and refrain from posting any photographs of individuals who are not officially identified as suspects by the Philadelphia Police Department. Failure to take appropriate actions may subject you to liability.

As of about three minutes ago, another picture appearing alongside the familiar police sketch that's been circulating was removed.
