Sunday Times claim that Smith e-fits had been suppressed for 5 years.

[John]

we have no idea how true this statement is......

Do you not think it is time they clarified it?

[Mr Gray]

Do you not think it is time they clarified it?

why should they

[pathfinder73]

They don't need to give an explanation when everyone knows who Smithman really is (so I don't expect one!)

[Mr Gray]

n e news on the trial

[misty]

Did Mr Smith pick him out in an identity parade?

[Brietta]

Can you explain why the McCann's surpressed those efits?

Are those the efits which were sent to Leicestershire Police and the PJ?

The Smiths were unable to provide efits to the Portuguese police. If, & this is a big if, the efits were sitting in the PI files, it was because a)the investigation had been shelved & b)because the Portuguese justice system does not accept any evidence from private investigators

Or perhaps the e fits stayed hidden in the McCanns files because,  for some reason,  they did not want the public to see them

That is a possibility,  isn't it  ?   

[Brietta]

Yes. The ones wrapped up in legal action that struggled to make it to the Find Madeleine website. Never mind, Tannerman, Posh Spice and the Clearasil Creep took pride of place instead.

So you agree the police had the efits and did nothing with them obviously.

Remind me ... why was it the Sunday Times made an apology to the Drs McCann?

The efits of the man the Smith family saw belonged  to the McCanns

They were free to show them to the public  ...  indeed,  Henri Exton advised them, as a matter of urgency,  to do just that

They chose not to

They chose to keep those e fits out of the public domain

Why  ?

'These are 2 e-fits of the same man. A man who may hold the key to Madeleine McCanns disappearance.
They've been shut away in a private investigation file for 5 years.They were compiled from 2 witness accounts on the night Madeleine disappeared, but never handed over to the Portuguese investigation. Now British police are treating them with the utmost importance'

The efits were produced in conjunction with the Met detectives during Operation Grange.
Again, I ask why the independently produced images differ so much, when 7 years ago Mr Smith clearly told the PJ he did NOT see the face of the imaginary man?

Why weren't the efits publicised?

Because Maddie wasn't really abducted.

That could have something to do with it.
