Jane Tanner's role (distraction) was to introduce the decoy of a man carrying off a child in his arms, away from the apartment where the McCann siblings were all sleeping safely within minutes of Gerry McCanns 9pm check. Odd that neither Gerry McCann or Mr Wilkes failed to notice Jane Tanner in the same street?
Jane Tanner places Gerry McCann and Wilkes in the street because she had first hand knowledge that Gerry McCann was going to be saying that he had physically seen Maddie's body in her bedroom during his 9pm visit and check that evening..
In reality Jane Tanner was in the street alone, Gerry and Jess weren't present at that stage. He was probably still inside apartment 5A, and there was no man carrying off any child as alluded to in the Tanner distraction...
If Tanner was part of the bigger picture, well she got her timings wrong, she left the tapas restaurant bar too early, and arrived in the street before Gerry had an opportunity to already leave his 5A apartment! Despite her poor timing she went onto the rest of her script, she went to her apartment and maintained that she had seen 'BAYGON' man, carrying a child off into the wilderness. Her account lacks credibility because she didn't see Gerry McCann standing in the street when she arrived there...
In Gerry's version of the events, he denied standing on one side of the road talking to Jess Wilkes, as described in Jane Tanner's account, simply because he wasn't standing talking to Jess Wilkes in the road when Jane Tanner arrived there - she had to improvise her role in the proceedings, and speculate as to Gerry McCanns position in the road, whereas when Gerry eventually arrived there in the street, he simply described what he had done and to whom he had seen, and spoken too..
