It say's there his wife agreed.
The fact she didn't want to make a statement means nothing.
Maybe she had some ironing to do, or perhaps she just didn't want to be tainted any further by the acrid stench of the McCann affair.
And at least 2 witnesses report the alarm being raised before 10pm.
You’re wrong
His wife categorically REFUSED to make a statement
She probably knows he’s either an attention-seeker or has a strange disposition
She certainly couldn’t have thought the man was like Gerry McCann, otherwise she’d have made a statement, not just to back her husband up, but out of moral duty. Would YOU refuse to make a statement if you thought a certain man may have killed a child? Just because you had to iron some pillowcases?!
Anyway, In the event, the police wanted NOTHING from Mr Smith or his family as they knew Gerry McCann was sat in the Tapas Bar when the Irish family poured out the bar & spotted a man carrying his child.
They too probably also figured that Mr Smith was an attention-seeker.
And if Smith thought the man seemed strange, why didn’t he stop him?
I’ll tell you something that happened to me. One sunny Saturday afternoon many years ago I saw a man carrying a young child who looked asleep when I was driving home from the shops. There were a few people around, but because it was daytime and the girl was flat out asleep, I took NO chances. I pulled up and apologised after lowering my window down, and asked him who he was and who the girl was. It sounds rude, but I didn’t care: I couldn’t understand why she looked so floppy. He actually smiled and almost laughed, and said he was taking her home from a birthday party. He INVITED me to walk to his front door where his wife was waiting, and instead of them being annoyed, they THANKED me for my concern.
That’s enough about me because this forum is about Madeleine, but the point I’m making is that if Mr Smith thought the man was carrying the girl in a strange way, why the hell didn’t he APPROACH him?!
He’s clearly a dramatist who wanted publicity IMO
I’m not commenting on this anymore, as his case is CLOSED.
The police told him that 12 years ago. HE never pipes up about it — nor do the police (that file is closed) so why are YOU going on about it?
It’s kaput.
