Take into account that it was dark in the room. Plus the 9 year old was probably laying in bed. There is only 6 inches difference. A 9 year old may not be able to guesstimate the height and weight of an adult very well.

If the police,had her get into the same position she was in the night of the abduction and then have her compare sizes of various officers(dressed like the abductor) to what she saw in that level of light (or darkness in this case) and position, they would be able to zoom in on an approximate weight/height.

I have always had problems with Mary Katherine's description of the abductor....I know of no 9 year old who can accurately describe height, weight, age....example...I had a little 10 year old neighbor boy convinced I was 25 for almost a year, even at that he thought 25 was ancient.
