I had written to them, and they pointed to a CNN source, which mentioned another video from a different angle, and the family confirmed it was them in the video. So yeah, seems like it was valid.

I didn't actually see it myself, but I heard a lot of people thought it looked AI at first and that it was genuine (alternate angles and stuff like you said). It's good to check up on it (sounds like you actually put the effort in) so we can try to keep our facts straight, as hard as that is these days.
