Addendum:

I just noticed that candidate no. 1, Alex Campbell, made that key the
day before the account was created (could be the same day depending on
timezone stuff):

So if I were a betting man, I'd wager that Alex Campbell is your guy.
Also, his regular account was active a few days ago, so he's
contactable and just hasn't updated the other one in a while.
