Spectre, do you know if there were two different sketches made? I thought I read that the other day when the police were saying why they didn't release the one the Smart family was pushing. I've only seen one.

The history of the sketches is rather sketchy. The police have been so evasive about whether or not a sketch was made early on, and the Smarts were too (they said the police had asked them not to comment about the sketch being done or not.) Pretty confusing. Smart did make a passing reference to a sketch when it was initially released.

" The search for Mitchell began after Mary Katherine Smart, the only known witness to her sister's kidnapping, remembered the roofer a few months ago. She told her father, who had a composite drawing done with a Salt Lake City police sketch artist. The drawing was later shown on "America's Most Wanted."

"The issue is the hair. She remembered his hair being combed back or slicked back," Ed Smart said of Mary Katherine's recollection of the man.

Mary Katherine has seen pictures of Mitchell since his name was brought to the attention of authorities but Ed Smart would only say, "She doesn't know if it's him. She thinks it still might be him."
Smart not sure if mystery roofer is 'the one'

You're correct. The LE explained the problem with the sketches during a press conference. I can't remember which day it was, sorry.
