Well that includes an ex-superintendent and an ex-military police officer. The crèche register will be common knowledge among researchers. I haven't read Stellander's book so I don't know what he says about the crèche register. But he does talk about a particular nanny or crèche worker statement and how that statement came about.
Have you see the credentials and carried out due diligence on the ex-superintendent and military police officer?
I haven't even heard of Stellander's book. Have you seen his/her credentials and carried out any due diligence?
As you probably know the Red forum had/has a dedicated board to the case of MM. It was all pored over in great detail for years/decades by some and months by myself. There tended to be 3 schools of thought: unidentified stranger, CB, McCanns. I ruled the McCanns out for many reasons. My starting point was that the perp(s) had to have been someone who knew the patio doors were left unlocked every night, the children were alone inside and the McCanns were at the tapas bar every night. This narrowed it down to Mrs Fenn, her niece and the niece's husband (Carole and Christopher Tranmer) who visited Mrs Fenn on two occasions during the McCanns stay. Mrs Fenn, who was in her 70's at the time of MM's disappearance and is now deceased, was the only owner occupier on the complex and therefore slipped under the radar as she wasn't on any holiday lists.
I will keep it brief. Carole Tranmer interjected herself into the investigation at an early stage by saying she saw someone dodgy hanging around. She was therefore considered a witness. Afaik no one has ever interviewed her husband.
As you might know about a year after the disappearance Leic police interviewed all British based witnesses which included Carole Tranmer. Her interview, as a witness, is somewhat revealing:
DC1485'When you are on the terrace, to which direction are you turned'
CT'We are turned to a beautiful view of the ocean and all the clay roofs of the village, where one can see the pool, the reception area, the pool zone, the tennis courts, and one could see the roof of the Tapas bar. There are trees and bushes between all of this, so when one looks out, there are only roof tops, the small homes and other villas. It is an incredible view.
DC1485'Did you go to the Tapas Bar with your aunt'
CT'No, no, no it was not there when I visited the last time, and it is something very recent; I believe that it was built about a year ago and I was there before the Tapas Bar was constructed. I think it was a part of the reception or something similar. We were not there before. It is very new.The above statements were not made consecutively. Several other exchanges were made in between but it obviously fell on deaf ears with the interviewing officer. They clearly could not get their head round how a seemingly nice, middle class woman could be involved.
