I know its not the way she told it but if she did what I'm suggesting she had no idea at the time her movements from tapas to 5D would be placed under the microscope. With the benefit of hindsight T7 must realise the decision to leave the children without any sort of supervision while they wined and dined at tapas every night was a disaster. Worse still at the very least the McCanns were leaving the apartment unsecured and in the case of JT/ROB leaving a child who was unwell and at some stage vomiting. If on the Thu eve JT/ROB were exiting/entering 5D via the back/alley/unlocked patio door they might have thought a damage limitation exercise was called for and said they were exiting/entering via the locked front door overlooking the car park.
GM claims when he was talking to JW he was standing around the entrance to the alley but on the opposite side of the road.
JW claims when he was talking to GM it was outside the small gate to 5A.
JT claims when she observed GM and JW chatting they were outside the small gate to 5A.
If GM is correct I guess its possible GM and JW did not notice JT pass the other side of the road.
If JW/JT are correct I can't see how JT passed them and they did not notice.
So taking all of the above into account imo I think the most likely scenario is that on the Thu eve (perhaps due to the situation with EOB) JT/ROB were exiting and entering 5D via the alley.
JW also drew a map where he showed their chatting spot. He carefully placed it at the alleyway entrance.
JW also states that when he was at the little car park opposite Tapas Reception, he saw Gerry was coming down the steps at the little gate as he exited 5A. If they walked towards each other, they would have met somewhere in the region that Gerry states. I think they met in the middle of the road and moved back to the safety of a gap in parked cars when a vehicle wanted to come thru.
They moved back to the pavement edge / road where Jane Tanner saw them, which co-incidentally is exactly the spot that JW drew on his map.
And a further co-incidence is that Amaral in one of his videos shows the same pavement at end of alleyway spot.
Three co-incidences = one to many ?
Most car headlamps give a monotone light. The stret lights gave a sickly yellow colour light. I actually think that vehicle, wanting to come thru', was the getaway vehicle and it was of a limited group that had the correct lighting to show colour. A flash of these lights on Tannerman allowed Jane to see the colour of the little carried girls Pjays.
This in my opinion but the various elements form a coherent whole.
Holly, I know that you are fairly recent to the forum and may not know this, but all this has been very thoroughly discussed in previous threads; you might benefit by reading them.
