"..............But when eyewitness Gail Coop, who helped create the sketches, saw the scruffy man's photo she gasped: "Oh my God, that's so like him.

"He's the spitting image of the man I saw three times at the resort where Madeleine vanished.

"It's deeply shocking to see my drawing come to life. His cold, emotionless eyes sent a chill right through me."

The 50-year-old granny added: "I thought there'd be no doubt in my mind if I saw him again." .........."

I am very troubled by the outrageous media attention given to a man who 'looks like' someone that seems only to have a connection to collecting money for an orphanage!

Gail Cooper, after seeing him three times and being able to be so specific about his looks by having him recreated in a sketch (eight months later ) cannot make any positive comment about 'Yes it's him!'...or No!..It isn't him!"

If I had a vague memory of someone and they were brought to my attention it is likely to 'click' that I do recall them...If I could remember enough for a picture to be drawn that resembles them then its more than likely that I would be able to confirm whether it is the same person or not. 'Looks like him' and 'spitting image of' tells me it isn't the person....so why is he being treated like he is!?

I'm sorry but to place this chap in the media attention because he happens to look like someone, considering its such an important case, seems to be very irresponsible.

Im not saying  Gail Cooper is lying...there may have been a 'creepy' man ....I am saying that unless she can positively identify him then he should not have to feel he is being accused of murder unless there are other indications!

Theres lots of people that resemble the sketch....

For example heres one ...................
