Currently doing the rounds on Reddit - Podestra brothers compared to McCann efits

Almost as daft as saying the one or both images look like Gerald McCann.  There's enough material out there concerning Madeleine McCann's disappearance, without creating this kind of distraction - be it for fun, a hoax or some other misguided reason.  Shame people can't put their talents to better use.

Still, whilst on the subject - I wonder if Operation Grange ever found their man/s.  If they did they're keeping it very quiet .

I can see the merest hint of a resemblance, one brother to one e-fit, the other brother to the other e-fit.

IF they ARE the abductor(s), I am trying to think why Henri Exton and then Operation Grange released both images.

Here are my alternative hypotheses:

1. The Podestas were both carrying a child, and the Smiths saw them both but couldn't remember there were two of them
2. There was only one of them, but one of the Smiths had much poorer recollection of the face than the other Smith
3. The Podesta brothers could undergo rapid 'shapeshifting' from one of their faces to the other.

If none of those work, then how about this?

4. The Smiths, Henri Exton, Andy Redwood and Nicola Wall are all flaming liars who deserve to be prosecuted for perverting the course of justice...

More like Andy in Blunderland.

We used to call Andy Redwood 'Deadwood' here.

Until a former Moderator here said it was 'disrespectful' and put a stop to it

Very good.

I had been thinking along the lines of:

'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' 

which would not be followed by

Frank Ifield's 'I Remember You'

but more likely by

Engelbert Humperdinck's

'Am I That Easy to Forget?'

can we add another to this nonsense,
5. neither e-fit is shown wearing glasses. It's a fairly distinctive thing  to notice.(Unless , like Jane Tanner, you don't then you do...)
