I find the article in question to be quite perplexing.
Amongst other things, if the McCanns had received the full report in Nov 08, why would the Met had had to request a copy from the authors?
The pictures of a man who may have taken Madeleine were drawn up in 2008 (Adrian Sheratt) The report, delivered to the McCanns in November 2008, recommended that the revised timeline should be the basis for future investigations and that the Smith E-Fits should be released without delay.
He claimed the legal threat had prevented him from handing over the report to Scotland Yard’s fresh investigation, until detectives had obtained written permission from the fund.
Its contents remained secret until Scotland Yard detectives conducting a fresh review of the case contacted the authors and asked for a copy.
Did the McCanns actually have access to those e-fits? Did both exist at the time or was one done later by the Met?
How accurate is this article? Is it a coincidence that it has been published after the case has been reopened and judicial secrecy now applies again? If there are inaccuracies, who can rebut them?
