The Smithman e-fits - are the McCanns less than happy with them?

The Smithman efits have been added to that page within the past few days IMO, before that they were hidden away on another page and very hard to find, as was pointed out in this discussion http://miscarriageofjustice.co/index.php?topic=6445.msg256125#msg256125

BTW here is a piece of completely out-of-date information still on that site today.
"The full objects of the Fund are: ...(snip) ... To provide support, including financial assistance, to Madeleine's family.". If you don't believe me take a look (before it gets removed, several years late).

So efit of SY identified man is not as important as spotty man etc

Well spotted Pegasus.

There appear to be several avid supporters of that fund here on this forum I imagine one of them will email the fund and get it fixed in the next few days. But back on topic, at least the smithman efits are now on their main unidentified persons page.

Found it eventually, still not front page news there

IMO the smith sighting will probably turn out to be of an innocent dad and his daughter. The long sleeves are a bit of a clue. But SY need to discover who it is (just for elimination purpose IMO). So I'm surprised the fund directors did not push it to the front page of their site and add a description of the exact street junction he was seen and the fact he might have continued down those steps.

Lets face it the FUND/Mccanns /whoever buried the info in the first place,innocent dad or not, and even to today theyre not playing ball!!! And their supporters have the gall to ask why people get suspicious.

ps the sighting of  a man ON THE NIGHT carrying a child looking like Madeleine was NEVER advertised by the Mccanns, they chose a pair of legs instead

And when will he turn up? When the case is solved is your answer.

Possibly when a Smithman appeal is made in Portuguese language in Portugal.
Like the prominent Portuguese-language Smithman appeal page on the Madeleine Fund website.
Oh sorry I forgot - there isn't one.

Portuguese version -  but Smithman got lost in translation?

The MF site very recently added the 2 Smithman efits on their english page
http://findmadeleine.com/campaigns/unidentified_people.html

But on their portuguese page the Smithman efits are completely missing
http://findmadeleine.com/pt/campaigns/unidentified_people.html

Why are the Smithman efits missing from the portuguese language page?
Isn't that the most important page? 
Are the fund directors not interested in finding portuguese-speaking witnesses?

Yes lets hope SY have obtained from CEOP all the tourists' uploaded photos.
Just in case there might be photos in Tapas on evening 3rd.
Or photos of the search that night.
Then you could look for the beige/white trousers and black jacket what the man seen by smiths was wearing.

There will be new witnesses in those photos and the German reconstruction just had all the tapas men wearing beige trousers 

"He does not remember what Kate was wearing that night. The arguido did not take a camera and does not remember if Kate did. (GM)

She returned to the restaurant to get her handbag as well as the camera of the couple McCANN and "baby monitor" of her daughter. (DW)

What on earth are you on about, Pathfinder ... neither Dr McCann or Diane Webster could possibly have fitted the Smithman description even if they had been wearing beige trousers, even if the trousers had ... buttons.

Anyway ... why do you suppose Smithman has anything at all to do the efits?  How can they be one and the same?

In the three Smith statements given a fortnight after the event to which we have access all are in agreement that they did not see his face.

So whoever the efits represent ... it cannot be the man the Smiths said they saw ... for the simple reason none of them saw his face.

Good point Brietta.
IMO one of these two "smithman" efits was possibly done by a female british tourist who supposedly saw a man that night speaking in english on his mobile phone and carrying a child. Not in the files - it was a newspaper report.
