I read in the reddit comments that the two sketches were of one man. I have seen this comment before. As it was reported the sketches were created with the help of two different witnesses and the two sketches look nothing alike, they are obviously not of one man. Two sketches. Two men. Both look like portraits not guesses. If the sketches are legit, they are evidence of a cover up imo. Why hasn't anyone been able to say the sketches aren't real? Because perhaps they are?
The face of A SUSPECT in the investigation of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann has been released to the public by detectives.
Police have issued two efits that they believe are descriptions of THE SAME MAN, who is now being sought as a priority by the British detectives leading the new McCann inquiry.
Descriptions of the suspect were given to the Portuguese inquiry by two witnesses after Madeleine disappeared.
......
But it is this man in particular whom detectives are very keen on finding. The man was described by the two witnesses as being inside the Ocean Club complex in Praia da Luz area on the evening that Madeleine went missing from the apartment. Redwood will travel to Germany, the Netherlands and Ireland to repeat his appeal as detectives from the British investigation attempt to close in on the man. He was described by the witnesses as white, aged between 20 and 40, with short brown hair, of medium build, medium height and clean shaven.

I hear what you are saying, it's just that the description of one man was given by two separate witnesses and the efits, while similar in some ways, appear to be two different people if you look at the noses, jaw structure and hair. So in my opinion the police are mistaken that it is the same person, and they are only guessing it is the same person...
"Police have issued two efits that they believe are descriptions of the same man"
"Descriptions of the suspect were given to the Portuguese inquiry by two witnesses after Madeleine disappeared."
I will admit though, the liklihood it is the Podestas just seems unlikely, but to be honest there is so much creepy shit I wouldn't be shocked by it if true.
But back to the single suspect theory, it hasn't worked out for the police so far, maybe they should revisit whether it is one person or two separate people each seen by a different witness.
Your assumption relies on the idea that police sketches always match the subjects and that multiple witnesses describing a person to a sketch artist would result in sketches that match. Unfortunately this is not the case. Eyewitness testimony turns out to be unreliable fairly often and this is repeatable in experiment after experiment. It terms of facial recognition, it depends on the skills of the sketch artists and the tools they have and how well the witnesses can remember a face and describe it accurately.
This is a famous image that was produced in a well-known experiment of an Identikit operator putting together profile sketches of four of the most famous people in the world based on photographs of them. Can you recognize any of them? And he had a photo of them right in front of him.

I believe the police are saying it's one man is that multiple witness saw him at the same time

Police say a family saw the man with a blond-haired child of three or four, possibly wearing pyjamas, heading away from the McCanns' holiday apartment.
