Do you know how many people have dark hair and dark eyes?
Except it wasn't just a person with dark hair and eyes. It was a
female child (presumably of a specific age you could recall) with dark hair and eyes. That
absolutely helps other people to better narrow down who they're looking for. The more details the better.
My ex had to do a line up to identify the lad who stole our son's bike, he picked out the wrong lad, it's very common so the police sergeant said. (UK)
Of course that's common. It just means he's one of the many people who aren't good at face recognition. However, many people are, and they will also frequently remember an odd or distinctive feature, like crowded teeth, a specific tattoo, etc. Police wouldn't create composite sketches and release such details to the public if they were never helpful at all. And criminals on the loose wouldn't frequently alter their appearance if there wasn't something to it either! People will very often see a suspect's face on television (think 'America's most wanted') and recognize a person's picture on the screen, notify the police, and the suspect is nabbed. In fact, I'm floored by just how good some people are at recognizing a suspect who's aged 20 or 30 years since their last known photo was taken!
I'm also sure many mothers
would remember what outfit they dressed their child in if they went missing that same day. I can remember plenty of times during a news report on a missing child when it would be mentioned that the child was last seen "wearing a pink sweater with denim shorts and red shoes" for example.
Besides, the original question was about what
The Chariot might indicate in regards to describing someone's physical appearance. I'm quite satisfied I now know what it means with regards to
this particular reading.
