The case of Madeleine McCann

[Neil]

The Crimewatch cliffhanger ad with the dramatic music that ends with the promise of "revelation" to keep us in suspense is embarrassing, this isn't a soap opera or a tv drama, a little girl is missing.

I agree that it seems inappropriate, but it works!

It would most probably have got the Eastenders viewership to tune in.

Sorry,but I didn't think the programme was worth all the hype and frenzy that it stirred up. And also,I felt it threw up even more questions regarding the tapas group.It was all really rather odd.

Hello tyler  I was kinda disappointed in the programme on Maddie

I agree,tyler,,though I wasn't expecting it to be very bowelgripping stuff,,literally only going over old ground really with a slightly different take on the case as a whole. No further on except that I think they know who their man is,,but in making certain,,have asked the public to name him so that notes can be compared. His name will become known in due course I suppose,,to be eliminated.?

Thanks, NN, if it is required that I have a smartphone, I am afraid that is not possible, I don´t have one right now. Very kind of you, and thanks Patti, for the computer-pictures. One of the men looks like an Egyptian I have come across here in Copenhagen - not a nice type, but unlikely it is him.

Hi Alias

No you dont need a smartphone just an internet connection, monitor and speakers

Well, the reconstruction has come and gone...
Just as I said, the Jane Tanner sighting was nothing but a red herring...

The Smith family sighting being the only truly reliable last public sighting of Mad's to date - there she was, being carried off held in arms she had previously trusted...

The e-fits look like Gerry McCann to me. The Smiths believe it was Gerry McCann they saw carrying a 'sleeping' child to the ocean. Would Gerry have been sitting at the Tapas bar at 10pm? Anybody ever confirm this?

Has Jane Tanner been vindicated then since the man she saw exists and she didn't make him up?

Slowly, slowly, catch ye monkey...

I have much to say...

Facts...

(1) - Jane Tanner and Kate McCann were present in the apartment block (5) when the alarm was raised...

(2) - the steel shutter and the bedroom window was not forced open by anyone from the outside, but unlocked and raised by someone from the inside...

(3) - Robert Murat was not seen hanging around apartment block 5 on the evening of Mad's disappearance, the person who was seen on that occasion, was lookalike, David Payne...

I, too, thought it was bizarre that they went with the Smith's sighting, when they only came forward after believing it was Gerry, after seeing him on the news carrying his twin off the plane and recognised him!

Why appeal for witnesses when the witnesses have already made statements?

Regarding Jane Tanner's sighting, they showed him walking 'towards' the creche, when the guy/father said he had collected his child from there.

I don't think they said anything that different in the programme.

I thought the BBC were meant to be impartial ( ), but I felt that Kirsty Young, at the start of the programme, was telling viewers off, saying people had even blamed the parents, and we should keep an open mind.  Reminded me of David Boutflour on the documentary about JB telling us all to stop believing JB was innocent.

I thought that Kate said that when GM went to do his check that he was gone for 'ages' and she thought that he may have got side tracked with sport on the tv?
I too thought that the e-fit looked like GM.

There must be about 20-odd different photofits going around, from 'egg-man', Victoria Beckham look-a-like to bearded, scruffy men etc.

Some people are saying new pic looks like Matt Oldfield or Gerry!

Aussies' have got a pic like Payne.

[lookout]

Saying that,,there are 4 guys who look like Payne,,including himself,,and that's Murat,Symington,Malinka,and of course Payne. You'd think they were quads.
