Seems like a waste of resources to me.
But what choice do they have? They have to sketch the description they're given.

I agree. If I recall correctly, there was a composite sketch in Susan Smith's case.
What if it leads to the truth about the case?

I'm not sure what law says LE must sketch every suspect description they get but they certainly don't have to release the sketch if they don't believe her. JMOBut what choice do they have? They have to sketch the description they're given.
Question for those who believe SP...
What are your thoughts on why the FBI poster requests information on "unknown individuals " rather than suspects or POI? Similarly, why does the poster refer to her "disappearance " rather than abduction or kidnapping?
This is atypical, to say the least. If they believe her, why wouldn't they use the normal and expected terminology for wanted suspects in an abduction? What kind of strategy or plan would cause them to issue such an unusual poster?

I don't have an idea what the strategy is for any LE agency to release sketches of people they know don't exist nearly a year after the alleged crime.Where have you seen that? And what would be the strategy there?

I did so love that case!I think they have to release it, even if they doubt her. I don't think LE believed for a second that a man who looked like Santa Claus kidnapped Rachel, but we all saw that sketch.

Yes, FBI released a sketch in the Smith case. Even hauled in "suspects" for questioning. And they believed she was lying from the beginning.I agree. If I recall correctly, there was a composite sketch in Susan Smith's case.

Maybe this is the belief some have that LE uses all sorts of subterfuge to "trick" their suspect into confessing or slipping up. Not sure how that works in this case though. JMO
You’re right. The people in the best position to know (and with the training and experience to draw from) have consistently affirmed that they believe SP.
“Sgt. Jackson says he believes Papini was abducted, and that her story is true.”

“Based on information we have, there’s no reason to believe this is not legitimate,” Bosenko told The Record Searchlight. “Since speaking to [the victim], based on information we’ve received, we believe her. We believe this was an abduction.”

The point is that LE has been consistent. Obviously, these investigators (not idiots and not, in my experience, gullible) have done their level best to poke holes in her story. That it still holds up, a year later, after an exhaustive investigation, is significant. Like it or not, it really is. In fact, finding no reason not to believe her, given the nature of this investigation, probably says more about the veracity of Sherri’s story than a simple “we believe her,” because her story has obviously withstood their intense scrutiny.Your second citation is from December of 2016, so it's not recent.
Your first citation is not a direct quote. It is a writer's summation of what he thinks Jackson's position is. It is followed by direct quotes from Jackson that don't seem in sync with the writer's statement. The typical "we have no reason not to believe her" is far from an endorsement of her story; I read it as a plea to someone to come forward with the information that LE currently lacks but which they suspect is out there.

Do you know of any cases where they refused to release sketches?
