This Beach Woman is Not Caroline Lyders

Dear Readers,

Caroline Lyders, the ex-anchor for Milwaukee’s WISN Channel 12, untruthfully assumed the identity of the Beach Girl that was spotted in Hawaii with Taylor Hicks in May 2007.  (Inside sources have now reported to Radar that the real beach woman was a high-class escort). The two women look very similar in photos - in fact, it’s uncanny!   But they are not the same person. The beach woman tall, Lyders is short - also upon close inspection it’s easy to see the differences in the details.

As quoted on another blog: “Hicks and Lyders swept a lot of people into their lies–the public, the media, Hicks’ fans, even some of his friends and family.  This whole cover was so intricate that when doubts arose about the true identity of the Beach Woman,  Hicks began making public outings with Lyders in Milwaukee, perpetuating the cover and hoping to give it a sense of legitimacy.  Many people are stunned that they (Hicks especially) would go to these lengths.  As for Lyders, we’ve been told that careerist, duplicitous behavior is nothing new — hence it was Lyders, that lied (pun or not pun?) to the media and claimed she was the woman on the beach in Maui with Hicks in order to accelerate her career and raise her profile.

The fact that the real woman is an escort explains Hicks’ panic to cover this up with a more appropriate “look-a-like”.   As for the anchor, what’s her excuse? Well, getting famous by pretending to be Taylor Hicks’ girlfriend.   How ethical of a serious journalist. Not.

The woman in the following photo is a tall blond standing at approximately 5′9.

This is the Beach Girl. The woman is attractive. Full lips and face. Nice teeth. Click here and here to see more photos of this woman.

Below is a picture of Caroline Lyders    Similiar haircuts. However, please notice the entirely different mouth among other things:

The following photo is a close-up of the two womens mouths. Lyders has crooked teeth and VERY thin lips:

You will notice that Lyders also has a very long neck in all the photos. The Beach Girl does not. The lines in the following photos show the different ear placement. Lyders ears sit very low on her head (lining up with the corner of her eyes) while the Beach Girls’s ears sit high up (hitting the top of her brows). This is the case in every photo:

Here’s another picture of her neck:

Here is another photo of her neck, compared with the Beach Blonde. Both photos are far away shots and you can easily see that their heads are shaped differently. Lyders’ neck is longer and narrower, and her jaw is angular and less attractive then the Beach Girl:

Here is where it gets even more interesting: Hicks’ camp (allegedly with the help of an insider) planted this photo of Lyders in the Splash News Site where the original photos are located. The hair (even color), face, lips, neck, again is different than the woman on the beach. They even put Lyders in the same style bikini and earrings! Forensic expert, Lois Gibson, has conclusively confirmed the woman in this picture (Lyders) is not the same as the woman in the Hawaii photos with Hicks. Apparently they planted this photo hoping that the media would think they were one and the same.

Also, the original Splash photographer was using a zoom lens from far away - he never had the opportunity to take such a close up photo with such high resolution. This picture was NOT on the Splash site the day the photos were released on May 25th. Surely, Star Magazine can attest to that; since they had to blow up a facial image from a body shot to use in the magazine.
