Where does conman Kevin Halligen fit in? He was investigator who was hired by the McCanns and his company produced/supervised the e-fits

He was later convicted of fraud when it was found out he was lying about his background and skills.

There was a documentary made him called The McCanns and the Conman.

A conman who set up a firm to search for Madeleine McCann has denied he funded a lavish lifestyle using cash donated by the public.

Supporters of Kate and Gerry McCann handed over around £300,000 to Kevin Halligen's Washington-based company, but his contract was terminated early and he was later convicted of fraud in America on a separate matter. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/alleged-madeleine-mccann-con-man-3639040

He was not only a fraud known to rip off his clients (aka The McCanns and the people who donated to help them.) He was quite close to A LOBBYIST WHO COMPETED WITH TONY PODESTA.

Kevin Richard Halligen wasn’t the elite intelligence operative he claimed to be, but a charming and audacious con artist who lived a luxe lifestyle by fleecing others, including a number of lawyers, of millions, authorities say.

After he had already duped high-level contacts on the other side of the Atlantic, Halligen was introduced to society in Washington, D.C., in 2005 by a lobbyist and adviser to a well-known law firm which later did legal work for Halligen, the Washington Post (reg. req.) recounts in a lengthy weekend article.

Now the subject of a United States effort to extradite him from a London prison to face a felony fraud case, Halligen reportedly made millions through a network of intelligence community contacts he apparently tricked into believing that he had security expertise and connections that he lacked. In addition, courts in Virginia and the District of Columbia have found him liable for millions more that former partners say he defrauded them of.

Halligen also, seemingly, married an attorney working for the U.S. Commerce Department at a lavish 2007 ceremony at which the Patton Boggs lobbyist was his best man. However, the wedding was conducted by an actor, after Halligen told his bride-to-be at the last minute that he couldn’t sign any legal documents, according to the newspaper. It isn’t clear that he informed her he was already married.

A prominent lawyer who offered a toast at the wedding later won a Fairfax County judgment against Halligen for $5.7 million.

So we have a fraud who is an insider to the world of Washington lobbyists.

A possibility: If he was ripping off the McCann's, it stands to reason he might have faked actually doing the work. Instead of getting a real sketch artist, he had the efits created from pictures and since he was lying about the Witness, he made two efits of different people, so the cops wouldn't find anyone and then he gave details like the age that didn't match the pictures. And just as a special fuck you, he uses pictures of the competitors of a good friend. Fuck them.

Another possiblity. Lots of folks think the McCanns are guilty. Perhaps they worked with a conman to manufacture a new witness.

This is ridiculous speculation based on partial knowledge of the facts.

The e-fits were actually done by a person employed by Halligen and Oakley International, Henri Exton.

Halligen ripped off the McCanns, and didn't even do any work himself, apart from conning them.

However, Exton actually did go to Ireland and did the actual work of generating the e-fits with the witnesses in question, the Smith family.

Ha, ha, and like everybody else who got involved with Halligen, got ripped off (he was only paid partially for his work.)

What part of "the e-fits were generated independently in Ireland (not in Washington)" don't you understand?

I thought it was competent speculation based on partial knowledge of the facts. Because I haven't looked deeply into this.
