Patti,There are two supermarkets, one (a) along the route taken by the person with Mad's, seen by the Smiths, and another supermarket (b) on the same road as the entrance and entry to the tapas bar...
it should be self evident, that scotland yard would have had access to the creche records as per the deposit and collection times of children by parents or minders, so and because the British police are now almost sure that it could have been Mad's being carried off when seen by the Smiths, I think the police will already have considered for the possibility that the Smith sighting might be another case of a parent carrying home a child after collection from the creche, and rejected it...
Like the 'silencer'evidence in the Bamber case that had all the elements in one exhibit that would go on to help convict JB of the crime,ie blood,hair paint etc.......the Tanner sighting always seemed to remind me of pretty much the same thing.......potential sighting of abductor,witnesses and an alibi for GM. Unfortunately this has now all gone out of the window and we are left with the Smith sighting whereby Mr Smith was/is 60% to 80% certain that the man he saw carrying a child was GM. I agree with Patti in that if Maddie truly was abducted,a vehicle would have been used. There seemed to be such a small window of oppurtunity though for her to have been taken due to the comings and goings of the 'tapas' group. Surely somebody must have seen something?
Hi Tyler It was only Smith himself that thought it was Gerry simply because of the way Gerry had carried one of the twins getting of the plane on their return to England. The others in family disagreed with him and Smith himself said the man he had seen that night carrying a child looked like he was European, olive skinned and dressed Mediterranean style. No way does it describe Gerry, besides Gerry was still sat in the tapas bar when the Smiths saw the man carrying a small child. Its uncanny that the Smiths mirror the description of the man that Tanner saw in his dress style. I suspect Scotland Yard have interviewed and have worked with the Smith family for a period of time leading up the televised Crimewatch. They are convinced that Madeline's parents are not responsible for her disappearance.....
so basically the only evidence against the mcanns is this mr smith. who has changed his story a few times i believe.
what the Portuguese police believed isn't evidence.
What the parents and other members of the group didn't, or refused to say, when interviewed by the Portuguese police and the alteration of timings of the apartment checks made by the parents and other group members, is evidence which cannot easily be ignored. Nobody forced the steel shutter of apartment 5A open, there are no corresponding marks where a tool would have been used to force the shutter up. The shutter was opened by somebody inside the apartment to give an impression that Mad's had been taken by someone by that route...
Mad's was taken into the heart of PDL, not further afield...Introduction by Tanner of the sighting of the man carrying his child in the direction of Murats residence, was designed to try and throw police off the scent from what really took place...
