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.
So it has.  Well spotted Rob.

From what is written, that image must have been one of the very first, if not the actual first

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?



No doubt in the panic to get something out there wouldn't have been much thought given to how old a particular photo was.  Just a thought but this particular first photo showing her in pink clothing might have had more to do with the pink PJ's she was wearing the night she disappeared.  I believe it was a short time later that her eye defect became a prominent feature in photos.

Is it too much to assume it was the first readily available photo to give a "reasonable facsimile" of Madeleine's appearance ?
Or are we having a contest to see how many potential conspiracy theories we can identify ?
It should be fun plaiting them [the conspiracy theories] all togther into a coherent master plan.

What medical evidence would there be for a coloboma defect to come and go?  It is possible to Photoshop in and photoshop out.  Apparently photoshop can not be applied to video images so a video clip image (stopped on the right frame and screen dumped) will have the correct size and location of the defect.

It seems anything can be photoshopped, but unless there is a high resolution version of the picture available, we will never know.
What seems to be available is a photo of the poster - not good material to work with.

Two different poster wording and design?  The hand writing has been added on by different people as well.  One in English one in Portuguese.  Neither have a name on them.

I don't know why the heading is saying 'a young looking Madeleine'   if you look at the well known photo of Madeleine in the red dress,  that was taken the Christmas before,  and looks identical to photo of Madeleine in pink which was the first photo given out,  so four and a half months before Madeleine disappeared.

They couldn't use any of the other photo's taken on the holiday in Portugal as none of them showed a full facial photo of Madeleine and her eye.   The Police always ask for a clear full facial view of a missing child.

You have a strange concept of 'identical'

Ok not identical,  but her hair is short in it and if she wasn't pulling a face she would look like the photo of her in the red dress.

It's amazing how the length of hair makes a difference to the face,  short hair I think makes the face look chubbier long hair slims the face out.  IMO

To find a person you use a recent photo because the aim is to find her.

Smithman carrying a child in his arms checked his watch after passing the Smith family and the time was 10:03. Both are still unidentified 10 years later.

These must have been the very first versions.

It was a recent photo.

What is the point of having a recent photo that doesn't show her whole face or doesn't show the fleck in her eye?

How recent?  There are estimates that MM is under 3 in this photo.
The fleck in the eye is not particularly noticeable in the first poster photo.
