Wouldn't take 3 hours nugs.It's 99 miles from Liverpool to Birmingham and it takes just over an hour if you get a clearish run.

Wow lookout and poor little me has to be content with a Reliant Robin.  No motorways for us if I go above 25mph bits drop off

i was make a conservative estimate based on how much traffic there might be and also assume if they had abducted a child they would probebly be carefull not to get pulled up for speeding.

Okay,nugs,,,but it was night-time and the border between Portugal and Spain hadn't been closed,so if the vehicle went that way,it would have gone like a bat out of Hell before border control were told. As it was,it was 12 or so hours later after the horse had bolted.

[nugnug]

so they could have been in spain pretty quickly then.

I don't believe the abductor had a car, otherwise he would not have been seen carrying a child 35 minutes after the abduction. 4 witnesses say they saw a man carrying a child. They all 4 described this man and child similar to what Jane Tanner said.  None of them new each other and none of them knew what each of them had said in their statement.

If this abduction was planned he would have got into a vehicle and made his get away. 

I think the man was local, or an holiday maker.....

[nugnug]

i dont think the mcanns were in any way involved.

[Patti]
