Sighting of man behaving suspiciously in the vicinity of a local restaurant in the days building up to Maddie being reported abducted...
These sightings lasted for about a couple of hours at a time, and the man using his mobile phone behaved oddly because although he was observed using his mobile phone in the street directly outside the proprietors restaurant, the man always went into a nearby telephone kiosk but continued using his mobile phone. He was a dark haired man, clean shaven, and wore different clothing on each occasion he was seen. He was not Portuguese, but looked like a tourist of European origin.
I was interested to learn about one set of clothing this man was wearing, a dark coloured winter type coat, and blue jeans - since clothing matching this description was found by me inside the derelict building situated only a stones throw away from these sightings! The man regularly turned up outside the restaurant behaving like he did, right up to a couple of days before Madeleine was reported missing - and the restaurant in question was just a few yards from the place where the Smith contingent saw a man carrying a child at 10pm on evening of 3rd May 2007...
