This is such a frustrating case. Many of us were brought up with the old adage "trust me I'm a doctor", so one scenario we go along with all the Tapas 7, irrespective of how foolish they all were leaving their dozen or so children unattended that night.
If we consider the man with the pockmarked face one would have thought he was an outsider (Eastern European?), who seized his window of opportunity and abducted her for his own ends. This is why I turned to the American psychic video again to consider where the body might be.
The third alternative is Robert Murat, who was jealous of the nuclear family and wished to cause the McCanns pain. He killed Maddie in the apartment an deposited her somewhere in the vicinity which has still not been searched Him being a local he would know the area like the back of his hand.
The mystery is why has the body still not been found?
I bet a pound to a penny the pockmarked bloke was none other than Stephen Carpenter. He was on the McCanns trail for sure from that Tuesday (1st May 2007) afternoon, I believe he was the parent taking photographs of the children during tennis practice, and I believe that Stephen Carpenter probably took Madeleine from her bed in apartment 5A, soon after Gerry McCann made his 9.05pm check! What I envisage happened was that the Carpenters were on routine watch at the tapas restaurant from 7pm, onwards - monitoring the behaviour and routine of the McCann parents from the vantage point of their restaurant table which had been booked for 7pm. What I also believe transpired was that the Carpenters had been at the tapas restaurant earlier in the evening with their two children for high tea, and that they may have still had their kids with them at 7pm, but had intended to take them back to their apartment after they had finished their pre-booked 7pm evening meal (which accounts for the table only originally being booked for two persons, not 2 + 2). At around 8pm with their meal finished, Stephen Carpenter takes their two children back to their apartment (FP02), whilst his wife (the woman dressed up to the eyeballs in a plum purple dress remains standing on the pavement waiting for one of two things to happen. (1) for the return of her husband, and (2) in the meantime, she is keeping a watchful eye on the McCann Apartment to see which door the parents leave it, for example, (a) the poolside patio door, or (b) the roadside door?
It is extremely important to note that the sighting of this woman in a plum purple outfit, was seen firstly by Jenny Murat at about 8pm, and again at about 8.30pm by Jez Wilkins! This to me fits in snugly with the McCanns being under surveillance (if you can call it that), and that the woman in purple was nowhere to be seen (to say good evening to) when the McCann parents left their apartment at around 8.30pm via the roadside door which Gerry McCann in all fairness to him probably locked that door behind him once both he and Kate left (prior to leaving their apartment the McCanns had left the sliding patio door on the poolside of the building unlocked). It may well have been the case, that the woman in the plum purple outfit saw one or other of the McCann parents at the patio door and that see may have wrongly assumed that the parents were leaving their apartment by that route, hence why when a minute or two later when the McCanns did in fact leave their apartment, they both did so by the roadside door, and by the time they had walked across the carpark, and then down and along, and round the corner heading in the direction of the Ocean club reception, the woman in the plum purple outfit had already walked off - probably en route back to the Carpenter Apartment (FP02) to update her husband accomplice!
As she was doing this the McCanns arrived at the tapas restaurant at 8.30pm, sharp!
We know from Stephen Carpenters witness statement, that he said that the McCann's and their friends were already present when he, his wife and children arrived at the tapas restaurant! But, this cannot possibly be true because the Carpenters were booked in for evening meal at 7ppm, and the McCanns did not arrive until 8.30pm! Some of the other group did not arrive at their table until 9.00pm, so as we can see Carpenter is using a narrative that is supposed to take him out of the equation! But his lies (I might add) only serve to attach him to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann...
Tanner man may well have been Stephen Carpenter, carrying off Madeleine in his arms, walking briskly across the road junction in the general direction of his apartment! However, in view of him being spotted, he decided to take Madeleine elsewhere, just in case Jane Tanner had got a good look at him! I am convinced that his wife aided and abetted him when he took Madeleine! When he picked up Madeleine she began to stir, and Carpenter tried to pacify her by calling out her name, twice, in quick succession, 'MADELEINE, MADELEINE', when he probably handed out the child through the bedroom window! This was why Carpenters wife, says she remembers those key words, 'MADELEINE, MADELEINE', she will never forget those words that were spoken to Madeleine McCann..
Madeleines body was almost certainly taken to the derelict building opposite St Vincent's church, because if Carpenter had been 'Tannerman' he might have thought he had been seen, and so perhaps he wandered around and took footpaths which afforded him cover since these short cut footpaths were heavily populated with bushes, shrubs and trees and were poorly lit! I think there is a good chance that 'Tannerman' and the man the Smith contingent who saw a man carrying a child in his arms, may well be the same Person! In the case of the Smith sighting, the man was walking downhill in the general direction of the beach / church / derelict building! In the rear garden of this derelict building towards the left back corner, is a hollow with a shallow grave! I believe e this is the most likeliest of places where Madeleine McCanns remains were concealed. Inside the derelict building itself, there was a single bed mattress, and clothing contained in plastic bags, which I took photographs of and upon my return to the UK I sent to the Portuguese police asking them to go there and seize the articles of clothing and dig up the grave I have mentioned! As far as I know, nobody has searched either the derelict building or its gardens, and in particular the shallow grave which is overshadowed by a series of tall reeds...
It was inside one of the rooms situated at the front of the building (on the church side) that I took the 'Ghost of MADDIE' photograph, which for some reason presented itself in a gap that existed between the edge of the single bed mattress and the wall! I cannot explain how that image ended up appearing in that particular photograph, it wasn't something that I could see with my own two eyes, it just showed up when I downloaded all the images I had taken when I returned home! Some people say they can't see anything, but I can and it's quite an astonishing image which appears to be of a little girl squeezed into that tight floor space between the mattress and the wall! I believe in my mind it provides a psychic clue as to what happened to Madeleine McCann after her body had been taken!
The little girl in the image ('The Ghost of MADDIE') tells me that Madeleine was taken to this derelict building, she died there (I think), at the hands of her abductor, and her body was buried in a shallow grave at the back left hand corner of the rear garden in a hollow!
Until someone goes there and digs up this shallow grave I shall continue to believe that that is the location where her body was concealed, buried in that shallow grave...
