Do they record names of guests? It would take two seconds to ask the NJ DMV if someone by that name exists. If they don't, then the ID was probably fake. If there is someone by that name, showing the real ID photos to the hostel receptionist would quickly clear up whether the ID is fake or not. The receptionist flirted with him and got him to show his face so there's a good chance she'd be able to look at some photos and say whether any of them look like the guy.

  Last time I was there they wouldn't even record NJ. They recorded name on reservation and maybe DOB. The place had cameras everywhere apart from inside rooms and bathrooms. I can't believe that was the only time they got him on camera.

Once the police traced the suspect to the hostel, wouldn't they check the relevant IDs?

  What ID? The hostel had none. They never copied it. They never wrote ID numbers either. They checked the name and that was it. Unless it changed in the last year or so.

    They saved the ID number at least: https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-thompson-murder-live-updates-12-10-2024 https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian...

So, according to this: https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-thompson-murder-live-updates-12-10-2024 https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian... “I was informed... that defendant presented a forged New Jersey Driver’s License with the name of Mark Rosario as his identification, which based on the number on it was the same identification defendant presented at the hostel," So the hostel saved at least the number. This was not the case at least 2 years ago. I'm absolutely certain.
