Crecheman's identity finally revealed

[Brietta]

Was that Julian Totman being photographed.   The pyjamas don't look like they were owned by a doctor to me.

I believe it is Robitty

The photo has been pixcelated to hide the identity but the shadow is real.

Murats house was along that direction along with others,not towards his house,world of difference

Was that in JT’s statement or a late embellishment?

Depends on who adds the embellishment, first statement 4/05/2007 makes no mention of Murats.
No mention of Murats place.10/05/2007.

Why do you think Jane Tanner would have mentioned Murat in relation to the man she saw walking in the direction of Casa Liliana?

Unless I am missing something, barrier was pointing out that 'towards Murat's' or 'towards Casa Liliana' have significant connotations, whereas 'heading East', or equivalent, does not.  And that Jane Tanner did not dump such significant connotations into her statement.

I asked the question through puzzlement as to why Jane Tanner would have mentioned Murat or if you like Murat's.
Barrier raised the issue and could perhaps give an appropriate answer.

Meanwhile a man appeared ( * ) carrying a child (**), with a hurried walk, it being this detail together with the fact that the child dressed in pyjamas, without being wrapped up in a blanket, that caught her attention. She only managed to see him from the side, with the child in his arms. She noticed the individual's presence exactly when she had just passed by Gerry and Jez who were talking, having seen this person step off the pavement that borders on the apartment block where they were staying and rapidly cross the road.

The entrance to the apartment building (1) is exactly at the place (street) where the individual appeared from.

The puzzle remains as to why Tanner didn't recognise Dr Totman.  After all, he played tennis, walked his child around the campus regularly and dined in the same tapas restaurant where the tapas-9 dined every night?  From my own experience of these places in off-peak times, one tends to get to know fellow tourists after a while.

Jane Tanner should have been taken to the crèches in the morning and evening and asked to identify anyone she recognised as having been the man she saw the night Madeleine went missing. I find it very hard to accept that Dr Totman was totally unaware of the search for Tannerman as it has been all over the media and internet for a decade. His reticence to make any noise has resulted in much wasted effort.

Surely that's hindsight.
Police didn't really believe Tanner and even if they had they would have no reason to expect Tannerman to be a guest - why would a guest abduct a child?

It was a simple task for police to do but they botched it in favour of pursuing Murat.

I think if the man Jane saw had been Dr Totman she would have recognised him and would have said so. The fact she didn't suggests he was not the man she had seen.  That is dependant on if she had known him by sight.

You need to ask why didn't the police believe Tanner?
