I ve removed this paragraph Perhaps most puzzling is the fact that the sketch released by the Smart family and based on Mary Katherine s recollections depicts a perpetrator with no facial hair whereas photographs of Brian Mitchell both before and after June 5 2002 show him with a full beard This is one of the most blindingly stupid things I ve ever read on Wikipedia What is remotely puzzling about a guy shaving his beard then growing it back again At the time the Smarts first saw him he was doing odd jobs in the neighbourhood fixing roofs etc so he shaved his beard to make himself look more presentable Then grew it back again Astonishing stupidity
