Now that I have admitted my total ignorance and apologized, do you mind if I ask another question?

Police reiterated their description of their suspect: A white man, 30 to 40 years old, 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10, medium build, with dark hair and hair on his arms and back of his hands. He was wearing tan pants, a Polo brand shirt, dark shoes, a lighter jacket and an "English-style" driving hat. He held a small, dark handgun.

If he was wearing an "English-style" driving hat, why does the sketch show him with short wavy hair? It almost sounds like they knew who he was and pulled up an old picture of him and went from there. Sure doesn't sound like the reports of him from people who had seen the weirdo around town.

No, wait. See, that sketch that we have seen was made with "Emmanuel" in mind.

Back when Mary C. supposedly described the abductor as wearing a driving cap, there was never a sketch of her description given out to the PUBLIC. This was, in fact, a big bone of contention for a lot of people: "Why don't they get Mary C. to tell the sketch artist what she knows, then publish the sketch?" Well, for whatever reason, they didn't.

Then in October, she is said to have suddenly had a memory-jog, and remembered Emmanuel, and got thinking that maybe that was who it was. I think she remembered the voice, but couldn't place it till October. It was then that they had the sketch which you now see, made. I think other family members who saw Emmanuel, when he worked on their roof, probably contributed their descriptions to the making of that sketch, too.

And, you know that muslim-style cap that we've seen Emmanuel photographed wearing? I could see how in the dark, Mary C. may have seen that, and when she insisted that the cap had no bill, or almost no bill, they thought she meant an English driving cap.
