This is a topic which has intrigued since Redwood had his 'revelation moment'.
Why was Tannerman going the wrong way?Tannerman was the name given to the man seen by Jane Tanner at about 9.15pm on the evening that Madeleine McCann disappeared. This man walked across the road in front of her and was carrying a young child laid across his arms.

'Revelation moment': Police revealed a major breakthrough when a British father (left image) came forward to reveal he was the man who for six years had been considered the prime suspect in the Madeleine McCann case
During a live BBC Crimewatch presentation, Met officer DCI Andy Redwood who was leading the investigation into the disappearance revealed confirmed it had ruled out the man previously seen near the McCanns’ Portuguese apartment.
"A British father considered the prime suspect in the Madeleine McCann kidnapping for six years blew open the case after coming forward to police with his child's distinctive frilly pyjamas.
The mystery man's involvement was ruled out after detectives realised he was taking his own two-year-old daughter home from a crèche and had not snatched Maddie.
He even agreed to be pictured in the clothes he wore in Praia da Luz, on May 3, 2007, to prove he was the man in the police sketch previously seen as key to cracking the case.
His two-year-old's pink pyjamas, which were described by one of the McCann's closest friends, were also brought to Scotland Yard to help prove his innocence."
