The TV pictures and still images of a captive Nicholas Berg were nothing like the man I met. His skin was pale, his youthful beard thick and sculpted, and he seemed smaller.

He also mentions a "red beard."

My mother often has reddish-tinged hair but it would show up as completely dark brown or even black on video.

The video was of poor quality, only a light-red color would have a hope of showing up.
