Why was Tannerman going the wrong way?

Yes I believe that is crecheman in the photo because the clothes are the same and the build. He has been cleared of any involvement but you can't ignore the photo evidence which everyone can see. The jacket is the same and I doubt many are wearing the same around quiet Luz in April.

More importantly any holiday photos that went to ceop the PJ probably didn't receive. What would these show in the background? Maybe roadworks, potential witnesses etc. All holiday photos should be checked by investigators.

"photographs of people who they do not know who were in and around Praia da Luz in the 2 weeks leading up to the 3rd May. The address to upload photographs is: to www.madeleine.ceopupload.com."

It's 20 centigrade and sunny here.  Most of the folks at the Habana (webcam) seem to be in shorts and Tshirts.  But at least 1 guy is sitting there in a jacket.

I'm not sure what people are supposed to wear on a drizzly day April if jackets and trousers are ruled out.

Did anyone explain why the man hadn't fallen over in the non-photoshopped photo?

According to witnesses it was quiet in Luz so I doubt everyone is walking around wearing the same clothes as crecheman. Not that any of it matters now because he ain't Smithman carrying who the Smiths believe was Madeleine McCann.

Did you notice who wrote that powerpoint thing?
It was not written by a police detective. It was not even written by a PI.
And it is nonsense, because SY's crecheman was not even in portugal on Apr 22.

I would say it was an excellent exercise in brainstorming for an amateur to have produced.  It certainly was a 100% improvement on the non-existent model the PJ failed to produce.

Too many coincidences for me PF.

Gail Cooper didn't take the photo. Leanda Hodson-Mackey who was over for her 50th Birthday took the photo of her husband and son and they later noticed him in the background when checking their holiday photos. He was the one she said was wandering alone in the rain which she thought was strange. She saw the charity man up-close two day previous she said. The man on the beach she saw from a distance. Gail Cooper claimed it was the same man but how do we now that is correct. SY no doubt asked crecheman that question when they met him if they properly investigated it.

Today we reveal that one of Mrs Cooper’s friends, Leanda Hodson-Mackey, took a snap of her husband Stephen, 34, and son, then aged two, and the man appeared in the background, walking along the beach during a downpour.

Although his features cannot be clearly made out, there is a rough image which could be enhanced with FBI picture improvement techniques.

She had flown to Luz with a party of 13 family and friends in the week before Madeleine was taken, to celebrate her 50th birthday. Mrs Hodson-Mackey, 34, and her family spent four days at an apartment in the Mark Warner complex with Leanda’s mother Trudy Dawkins, 49, and her husband Lee, 40.

Last night Mrs Dawkins, also from Newark, said: “When we were back home it was on the news that Madeleine had disappeared and we all racked our brains to see if there was anything we could remember which would help the investigation.

“We all remembered this man walking along the beach in the rain, then Gail recalled he later went to her villa.

“Leanda had a throwaway camera. She went through the pictures she had taken and realised the man was in the background in one. Detectives took a statement from her and took away the picture, but we don’t know what happened after that.

Aren't those turn-ups on the bottom of RainMan's trousers? (the trousers you have said are so similar to Tannerman's)

[pathfinder73]

SY said he was wearing similar clothes in their photos not the exact same.

No, they are the gaps in the stack of sun chairs
