New artists impression of how Madeleine McCann would look today

An artist has created pictures of what she believes Madeleine McCann would look like now - and says she looks like her sister who was recently pictured for the first time. Simone Malik, 42, has created the portraits to track down the missing child, who she believes looks like her younger sister Amelie, 18.

Amelie was pictured for the first time since being a toddler in May this year, when she attended a vigil for the 16th anniversary of Madeleine's disappearance. Madeleine, who now would be 20, was just three-years-old when she vanished from a Portuguese holiday resort on May 3, 2007.

Simone - who calls herself a 'super recogniser' - has created the image to help find the missing child and believes Madeleine and Amelie have a similar mouth. The former NHS worker also thinks the siblings have the same eyebrow and eye area and the same square chin.

Simone said: "Madeleine has the same eyebrow and eye area like her sister, the same prominent lines on her neck too - which were evident in her childhood photos. Madeleine and Amelie also share the same square chin feature.

"Madeleine's jaw line is more angular and a bit more chiselled compared to her sisters. She also possibly has dimples at the bottom half of her cheeks, which Amelie, does not have.

"Madeleine McCann has a similar mouth to Amelie McCann, however Madeleine's upper lip is thinner and the gap from between her nose and lip is also longer."

Simone, whose sketch of a child murderer and rapist in Pakistan successfully led to his capture, added that the facial features between the sisters are 'shocking.' She said: "The facial features between Madeleine and sister Amelie, are shocking.

"Amelie's recent and very first media appearance this year, definitely confirm my theory of Madeleine's features."

Simone created a similar portrait when Madeleine turned 18-years-old and said she looked like her aunt, Philomena. The artist has now shared this picture of Madeleine to help track down the missing child and urged for anyone 'who sees a face like' Madeleine's, to come forward.

Simone said: "I strongly believe, I have cracked the mystery of Madeleine MacCann's face, as she would look today. We are basically looking for a look-alike of Amelie McCann.

"I would urge anyone who sees a face like this or who believes they could be Madeleine McCann - to please come forward."
