Posted by me on another thread earlier today:

Why would the family not want a sketch? Two thoughts come to mind. First, the sketch might be of a family member or someone whose involvement would put the family in a bad light. Second, the process of working with the sketch artist might create doubt about the little sister's story. The sketch artist is very experienced in questioning witnesses and drawing them out about what they saw. If there were halting, contradictory, etc. answers to her questions, she might conclude that "this child didn't see anybody or is not being truthful about the person she saw."

It is logical to assume the LEOs determined the sister did not see the abductor's face. Using an inaccurate sketch would be extremely counterproductive, introducing misinformation into the investigation.

Could be right about the sketch artist.
