Why was the first missing poster of a younger Madeleine?
« on: December 01, 2016, 08:15:06 AM »
Why did the McCanns choose a young looking Madeleine first poster?
Any ideas?  There were plenty of more recent photos so why did the person chose a photo of Madeleine 1 year younger than she was when she went missing?

Who chose the image to publish on the 3rd?

As I understand it, it was Russell O'Brien (ROB) who chose the photo to use on the earliest poster for Madeleine.
Was it Russell who produced the poster?
if it was why was Russell chosen to do this task?
Well why did ROB  chose this photo?

My chain of thought on this topic is quite revealing and I'm a bit unsure how to approach the matter but I do feel it is a breakthrough and I have explained my hypothesis to my friend and she thinks the same. 
So everything I say must be truthful therefore it is not libelous, like I can assign functions to people provided it is true, i.e factual and therefore not libelous. 
My work on developing the chain of evidence will commence in 8 hours for I'm off to bed now, but others are welcome to contribute what they know about the first poster and if anyone has a photo of it please upload it to the thread.
Thanks to the moderators for approving the topic.

Unless you are into conspiracy, the first picture was chosen from what was available on camera cards at that time. Why that particular one, rather than the tennis ball one, or even the 'last' picture by the pool is anybody's guess. I imagine Gerry had input into the decision.

I think ROB because he understood the technology and wanted to do something positive.

IIRC the photo was around 3 months old.   (from memory)

IMO the photo was chosen with 'ease of identification'  uppermost in mind.     It clearly shows every detail of Madeleine's features - it is full  face with no shadows, or a hat or anything else to distract.   It could not be more detailed.

In the circumstances it seems a perfect choice to me.

IMO

The notion that innocence prevails over guilt – when there is no evidence to the contrary – is what separates civilization from barbarism.    Unfortunately, there are remains of barbarism among us.    Until very recently, it headed the PJ in Portimão. I hope he was the last one.

Was this the one?

That was a later poster produced by Gerry I'd imagine.  I know what the first one looked like but I don't have the technique to put a full sized image up on the forum

The first picture - one of her in a pink spotty top is not showing a particularly young Madeleine - those came later.
Copies were produced on a colour photocopier and I think were A4 size.

Was this the photo you were thinking of, for some people have claimed that it was about 1 year younger than Madeleine actually was?

The image of Madeleine in the photo looks like it was produced on the night as it has a hand written message on the side.

Here is another poster produced later that has a photo of Madeleine at PDL side by side with a younger image taken in England.
I'd have to agree there are quite a few months (age) between the two photos.

That's the one.
How can we work out the age of Madeleine when that one was taken?

No it was the 'iconic' photo - the one Sadie posted that I was thinking of.

However the other photo is also full faced with her looking directly at the camera - with no hat and no shadows.   IMO that angle is preferable to a side-faced angle, with shadows, or one where a hat is being worn - when it comes to identification purposes.

IMO clarity of facial features was the thinking behind the choice of piccies at that time.

the picture was well over a year old ....also resembled one of the other tapas children ....

that could have caused ....a lot of confusion ...to the last sighting of maddie....
