The coincidence is that the efits depicting ONE man look anything at all like the TWO Podesta brothers.

Witnesses saw two people with the girl in separate occasions, Police assumed they're the same person as they were looking for a suspect

Confirmation bias?

No, you're talking about different suspects.

The Irish couple mentioned in OP's article saw ONE man. The two efits that happen to look like the Podesta brothers are NOT based on any other suspects or any other witnesses' accounts. They are based on the description from THIS man and THIS woman of the ONE man they saw. The man makes it clear in this article, the head of the investigation made it clear on the BBC special where the efits were revealed.

What explanation is both consistent with the facts and makes the minimum number of assumptions?

The theory:

The investigators hired by the McCanns produced efits from photographs of the Podesta Brothers. The police sat on the efits because they knew that they were inconsistent with the working theory that there was only single suspect for the abduction, and finally released them in order to give the impression that progress was being made.

No it's been confirmed now that it WAS in fact two people. I can't remember where I read that, I will have a look.

It may have been confirmed that two people were involved in the kidnapping.

The efits that look like the Podesta brothers are now and always have been two renderings of ONE man descrbied by the Irish couple.

What are the odds statistically that two efits would so closely match two brothers, down to the mole above the eye?

Beats me. Nor do I care. That's clearly what happened. What are the odds statistically that the last person who won the Powerball lottery would win?

You think they saw two guys walking down the street at night and used their cyborg infrared binoculo-vision to pick up the mole above the eye of one of them (but got the eye wrong)? You think these were the most unbelievably accurately observant witnesses in the history of crime? Have you ever in your life seen any police sketches/efits that were exact matches for the actual person once he was caught?

There is literally no remotely plausible explanation for why both the police and the witnesses would be forced to pretend there was only one young suspect, while still being allowed to release pictures of the two Podesta brothers.

I simply asked a question, and you jump off into hyperbole land. Christ it's difficult discussing anything with you.

Oh, my bad, it was a genuine question, you really thought I might know what the statistical odds are that the efits would look like the Podestas.
