Duplicates

On December 7, 2017, a user by the name of 'DumpsterDoug' tweeted 2 images with the following caption: "Ok so i was playing in my minecraft survival world and i see this guy who has like a million clones. is this some kind of texture glitch or something?" 
The 2 images shows the default 'Steve' skin but heavily distorted to have a large portion of the skin covered in Pitch Black, obscuring its left eye, half of its torso, and a section of its left leg. The entity is seen staring at the player in both images, the only difference is that it is seen alone in the first image, while it is surrounded by several other entities with its likeness, thus, the 'clones' mentioned by the original poster. Since then, the tweet has been deleted, but it still prompts several questions regarding the abnormality of the scenario.
Other than that, there's been no updates regarding the topic so far until August 19, 2019 when a user named 'MinerSteve' ,a real life close friend of DumpsterDoug, tweeted: "Guys @DumpsterDoug123 is missing. The police are already searching for him: If you know anything please call me or his family using this number." He then followed the tweet with his contact number along with DumpsterDoug's parent's number. 
4 months later, MinerSteve received a private message from a user named 'RnJpZW5k.' The message said, "You'll never see him again." The message then was repeated several times by the user before they went silent. The case would go silent until February 28, 2020, when they found DumpsterDoug's body in the woods outside of his home in Pennsylvania. Although DumpsterDoug's Minecraft tweet and his disappearance had not much correlation with each other, Jeremy B. Bellamy, an investigator working for the Cyber Police, tracked down the user 'RnJpZW5k' and revealed him to be ███████, a former computer programmer. ███████ used a special software to modify specific Minecraft seeds and allow data to be uploaded and downloaded without the user's knowledge (which is how he got DumpsterDoug's location)
That aside, he confessed to torturing and dismembering Douglas Seens (DumpsterDoug's real name) on March 25, 2020. He shortly died later in the same year after he was beaten to death in a Federal Prison.
Despite ███████'s arrest, numerous cases of disappearances have spiked in the last few months.
POLICE RECORDING, February 28, 2020
"Detective ████ reporting here. It's currently 4:32 AM here in ██████, Pennsylvania. We were called here after a woman contacted us after finding a 'body.' Victim appears to be a male somewhere near his mid-late teen years. Both the right arm and the left leg are dismembered. Cause of death seems to be strangulation. I theorize suspect must've strangled the victim before dismembering him. Surgical tools were found near the scene, possibly were used for torture. Coroner thinks the victim must've been tortured on a routine basis judging from the age of the victim's bruises and cuts. Further investigation is needed."
