Not A Worthy Lead
Mary Katherine had now identified “Emmanuel”/Mitchell as the man who abducted her sister. When the police were informed, well they had doubts as to reliability of the information. To them, Mary Katherine had barely heard his voice, and had just awoken from sleep. Several months later and Mary Katherine thinks she heard the voice of a man she briefly met, over a year ago, so the police didn’t consider it a serious nor a worthy lead.

Sketch Goes Live
After this, the Smart family and the police clash. The Smarts are furious that the police decide not to thoroughly follow up on this new lead. Therefore, they use the services of Dalene Nielson, a sketch artist, to draw up “Emmanuel’s” face from memory. In February 2003, the sketch is released to the media. With the help of John Walsh, who revealed the drawing while on Larry King Live and also on his own series, America’s Most Wanted.
