I have never seen that, I saw that they said they did not have the funds to follow both sightings since they relied on private funding not police. But they said nothing about the e.fits. could you post the link please.
Extract from original Times article 27 October 2013
The McCann fund source said the Oakley report was passed on to new private investigators after the contract ended, but that the firms work was considered contaminated by the financial dispute.
He said the fund wanted to continue to pursue information about the man seen by Tanner, and it would have been too expensive to investigate both sightings in full so the Smith E-Fits were not publicised. It was also considered necessary to threaten legal action against the authors.
