Madeleine McCann age progression images.

[Robittybob1]

Are you like me and always struggling to tell what age is represented by the various age progression photos?
What is your secret for getting them in the right order?

For example is this the 14 year old one or the 9 year old?


38

May 12 2007 Madeleine would have been 4

May 12th 2012 she would have been 9  So if the German newspaper Heute had an article on Madeleine in Oct of 2012 it could only be said "she was 9".

Did they use this photo?

Could a 9 year old look like a 12 year old?

[Robittybob1]

The reason for my concern is that a person says he read an article in 2012 with a picture of Madeleine McCann in it.  It could have only been the 9 year old age progressed image in 2012.  He says to me that the girl he met after knowing about the article looked identical to this image but he estimated she was 12 years of age then.  5 years later she would be 17 rather than the true age of 14 so something is wrong.

Was she dressed older than she really was? 
Is his memory of the facts at fault?
Was his understanding of the facts at fault?
Is he telling lies?
Was the girl he saw 12 and hence it can't have been Madeleine?

Here is a video clip I hadn't seen before where they have merged all the age progressed images into the sequence.

In 2012 she would have been 9, now 14. An estimate of age is difficult and depends on many things.

Do you think this is realistic Rob ?

I'm not an expert on matters like this.

So what is the point of the thread?

Strange question, in my opinion.

What is the point of any thread?

We are a discussion forum ... perhaps Robitty hopes for enlightenment through discussion??

I had to understand what image represented each age group.  I'm still struggling.

I had to understand what image represent each age group.  I'm still struggling.

In original photographs of a subject, I find it quite extraordinary the differences which can be made in appearance just by lighting, hairstyle and makeup.

Therefore trying to age progress a subject must be an incredibly difficult thing to do. But although not an exact science it does appear to have paid dividends on occasion.

Eric Austin

In 1981, Aric Austin was abducted by his father when he was just shy of 2 months old. An age progression photo actually led to him being found 22 years later. It was when a U.S. Department of Education investigator working on a case involving fraudulent birth certificates recognized Austin’s driver’s license photo from an age-progression image. Another great example of an accurate age progression photo being generated from a baby picture.

I'm not so interested in past age progressed images of Madeleine.
I'm more interested in the fact there are no recent ones ... particularly in the tenth year since she disappeared.

I think there must be a reason for that ... and I hope it is a positive one.
