Madeleine aged 8 as US experts see her

But surely she'd be 9 this year.

Duhh... they can't see into the future if she's 8 now thats all they can represent graphically!!

Of course Anna. If Madeleine was alive, which unfortunately is very unlikely, she would be 9 in a few weeks time. Why would they want to portray what a missing child looked like last year, rather than what she would look like this year? Ridiculous.

Oh dear, that picture could be any one of a hundred little girls you see around every day. No doubt dozens of sightings will now follow.

She looks at least 15 in that picture! How's that supposed to help?

Is this the girl Billy saw??

Does this girl still have a birthmark on the left knee?

You know something, if that was my missing child I'd be furious that she was being mocked in this way.

Lets be serious...If you saw this girl as in the picture...would you think it is Maddie?

Why did Billy then?

And never far behind the Express:

Well, it is obvious as the nose on your face that the mccann team are really pushing hard for the 5th anniversary...putting out all their propaganda from all angles to the unsuspecting public. Mccann team just so you know, there are many others who know this and how to battle against it...though the real things are not done in public and on forums

That article states:

Police are expected to release their own age-progressed image of Maddie this week as they renew attempts to solve the case.

So looks like we're in for another 'new' photo of Maddie any day now.

Almost five years since she went missing, this image has been created by a crack computer team that helps police forces across the United States try to find long-term kidnap victims and other missing people.

Using forensic age-progression techniques also employed by the FBI, they believe Maddie would by now have lost the wide-eyed, chubby- cheeked appearance she had when she vanished without trace, aged just three, in May 2007.

So it's a private effort, then, no doubt paid for by the Fund. Do they really expect anybody to believe this rubbish anymore? It looks like Kate in a brunette wig with a badly photoshopped coloboma (that Maddie didn't have).

Which police are issuing this new image?
No direct quotes from either PJ or SY.
And who are these 'experts'?
Even though they're a 'crack' computer team, they've not been named or quoted either!

NEXT!

If you block out the top half of her face, the mouth and jaw are almost those of a woman approaching 40, slackness in the cheeks and jawline.

Coloboma present (hopelessly out of date these people) the eyes should be different colours according to the files.

Whatever expert this is, a photograph of both the Healy women at the same age might have been useful as a reference.
Maddie looks like neither parent.
Her ears would not have changed and these were large and quite different to the ones here.
For goodness sakes, it's not as if they don't have enough images to work from.

The new farce of Maddie...
Days ago it was Lehja vu, today it's Mayja vu.

Despite what would be Madeleine's ninth birthday in two weeks, today's papers show what she might look like at the age of (eighty) eight. The latest image was created by a crack computer team that (apparently) helps police forces across the States find missing people.

Crack team? Or just on crack?

Using forensic age-progression techniques also employed by the FBI, they believe Maddie would by now have lost the wide-eyed, chubby-cheeked appearance when she vanished without a trace.

And be the image of Theresa May.

Police are expected to release their own age-progressed image this week as they renew attempts to solve the case.

Well that's another one to look forward to.

This case turned into a farce long ago, today they've gone a step too far.

That's not slackness - that's total collapse!

On second thoughts: perhaps they should have used the make-up photo - I wish they would, it would make people think.

Is Theresa May missing?

Are nearly 9 year olds really regarded in America as "soon to be teenagers"?

Using forensic age-progression techniques also employed by the FBI

It's reasonable to ask where this came from, what company did this age-advanced image and who commissioned it. The McCanns, who have said they don't intend to do a lot of interviews for this fifth anniversary, certainly seem to be making their voices heard in other ways.

the article says it was created FOR the Sunday Express - have they taken it upon themselves to get this done, or am i misunderstanding it ?

US experts, who work with police forces tracing missing people, created the image for the Sunday Express using FBI forensic computer techniques. [u]

Thanks mossman.

To me, this latest 'age progression' looks like someone who could well be auditioning for the mum's part in a new retro-style Oxo commercial.

Is she about to tell us how good her gravy is?
Or how good the gravy train has been for her parents?

I wonder if this photo will be appearing on Panorama?
