Jeff the killer origins

Around 2007-2010, a creepy pasta called “Jeff the killer” was born. This creepy pasta is extremely iconic and is one of the front men of the creepy pasta community. But I while ago, people online started wondering what the unedited photo of Jeff the killer looked like. Surprisingly, this was no easy task. There was a few leads over the years, a few older versions of Jeff the killer popped up. Similarly to the “Make me cute” meme/creepy pasta, people online thought that Jeff the killer was a photo of a girl that was posted online for people to edit. Another theory was that the original photo was a girl named Katie Robison who killed herself because of online harassment. That story was proven to be fake when the girl in the photo came out and said that she was still alive and well. Another theory was that Jeff the killer was a screen shot from a Japanese ad showing an old scary woman coming up to the screen. We still don’t know if this ad actually exist or not or if Jeff the killer was even from the supposed ad. A new theory popped up and people think it was a photo of a Japanese influencer blogging her weight loss journey online only for her boyfriend at the time to make fun of her and telling people online to edit the photo. We think that it’s most likely that photo because the hairline, head shape, mouth, and eyes match up almost perfectly with Jeff the killer. This is still yet unconfirmed but is the most likely explanation for the origins of Jeff the killer. Another thing to note is that one of the earliest sightings of Jeff the killer was on a 2005 video on YouTube called “NMM special report” as halfway through the Jeff the killer photo we all know and love can be seen. We are still unsure of what the photo is for sure, it was most likely a photo of a girl that 4chan or Reddit got a hold of and edited the hell out of it.

Edit: I wonder if the closet in the background of the Jeff the killer imagine is a different imagine or part of the unedited photo.
