Patti,,there was a white van and a blue car in the vicinity,,both noted/seen. A large footprint beneath the shuttered window,,that nobody took much notice of,,which could possibly have been the male driver of the vehicle,,as I think it was a woman who lifted Madeleine from her bed.
Contrary to what you said about Madeleine not knowing the person who took her,,I'm of the believe that the child did know her,,because otherwise Madeleine would have kicked off,and her sounds would have been audible at night.
Hi Lookout

Of course that scenario is pure speculation that it was a woman that took her and places the Smith sighting of a man carrying a child as being illegitimate as in the Tanner sighting.
6 years on and we have now discovered that the man carrying a child was infact someone picking their child up from creche, of course this could be the case with the Smith sightings. Why these men have never come forward before now is unbelievable, considering the publicity the case had at the time.
I would have thought the only women that knew Madeline were those that looked after her during the day at the kids club or 4 women who she was on holiday with.
We don't know if chloroform was used on Madeline, it could be that was why the window was open to get rid of the smell. The only other two reasons the window was open was either to pass Madeline through or it was opened as a means of escape. So that is three reasons
Whoever took her Lookout might not be who we thought was initially involved....I would like the police to now concentrate on finding the man carrying a child that the Smith's saw......because as daft as it sounds it could well be it was legitimate. If that is the case then I do suspect a car was involved....I asked my self if I was to abduct a child I would plan it well and my escape and not walk about the resort with a child, the risk would be too great.
CR fled PDL that night.....I'd like to know why?
