I think you're correct that the person was not an owner or clerk. IMHO the salient point is that the person was not any sort of eyewitness but merely comparing the same grainy photo as the algorithm.

More importantly, the person wasn't an eyewitness, and the 6-pack photo array was window dressing to make the outside technician appear to be an eyewitness.
