Portolano:
Yes.
Det. Sudler:
And some evidence of medical treatment. Can you
describe the similarities or differences? I mean

Portolano:
Yes, this is Lisa Mcpherson.
Det. Sudler:
Okay. What are the differences.. .you know. ..in
her appearance and anything that you might note or similarities?�
Portolano:
Initially when I saw this picture.. .umm. . I noticed
her face looked a lot thinner. 13mm. . . she was umm... she wasn�t heavy but she was very full figured. 13mm. . .and her face was fuller than this. This is a lot thinner. Umm. . . she has a bruise on her right cheekbone or something is there. It�s some kind of marking. That.. .that was not there. I�m looking under her eye. 13mm.. .it appears. . .her eyes didn�t really have bags underneath them or any. . .you know... �dark circles.. .none of that. Her complexion was totally clear. But this picture presents with like what we call a �raccoon�s eye�.. .uh. . .in the medical field.,. . just bruising underneath the eye due to some type of trauma to either the nose or. . . or the eyebrow bone or possibly the zygomatic.. .the bone right underneath the eye.. .umm. . .where there would be some bruising right there. It�s not a great amount of bruising uh. . .but it is.. .it�s definitely there. 13mm.. .�I�m sorry...
Det.� Sudler:

She does look thinner than she did: And I don�t
know what this is on her chin.. But she didn�t
