Cites are supposed to be provided, but that's something you usually refuse to comply with. You claimed the Smiths arrived in Portugal on 3rd May; where is your cite? I know you are wrong and I said so. If you want people to believe what you said I suggest you find the cite you need.
You’re constantly banging on about providing cites, but not all cites are correct. Didn’t you know that?
Of course I sometimes makes occasional errors, but they’re minor ones — not imaginary delusions I’ve dreamed up in my head out of desperation.
Yep, I got travel details mixed up: they hadn’t travelled that day — Mr Smith’s son, DIL & grandchildren were flying BACK to Ireland about 10 hours after their alleged sighting.
But the FACT remains that the Smith family had spent that last night of their holiday (except Smith and his wife who were staying on) dining and drinking out and then ending it at Kelly’s Bar for another top-up of booze. Mr Smith’s receipt (which I have a copy of) shows that he paid for his drink at 21:50 hours.
His son paid for his at 21:49 hours.
The walk from Kelly’s bar to where the sighting took place was approximately 5/10 minutes when you take into account his DIL was feeling sick, the children were young, and they would have been strolling back to their apartment.
Mr Smith admitted it was dark when they passed the man carrying a child — who was walking slap bang in the middle of the road (hardly a “hiding” action) and claimed the man was walking at a pace between “fast walking/running”. The passing of each other must have been fleeting, yet despite Mr Smith having been drinking, and NOT wearing his glasses, he seemed to go into some depth about the man and child’s appearance.
He described the man as around 5”7” or 5”8”, slim, looked like a local rather than tourist, and was suntanned.
Gerry McCann is 6”2”; has a large build fairly muscular, broad frame; and wasn’t suntanned. For much of the McCanns’ holiday it had been quite cold, and they’d had several days of rain.
I’ll supply photographs of Gerry taken that very day, where you’ll see he’s certainly not suntanned (one of the Smith group described the man as “sunburnt”) and said he was wearing a dark jacket, long trousers and looked maybe Mediterranean.
Mr Smith said the man defintely wasn’t Robert Murret (sp?) the first suspect, because he’d met him twice previously in Portugal, in a bar, but said he was inebriated when he saw him, so it was “hazy”. Mr Smith may have been inebriated on May 3rd too — he didn’t say — but he’d definitely been drinking, and as he wasn’t wearing his glasses his eyesight obviously wasn’t perfect. And it was dark too...
There’s also irrefutable proof that Gerry was INSIDE the Tapas Bar at 10pm when Kate went to do her check on the children, which MEANS the man the Smith family saw could not possibly have been Gerry. That’s why the Portuguese police themselves didn’t bother making appeals — they knew it wasn’t Gerry.
The police also has data from both Gerry and Kate’s mobile phone provider which showed all the numbers they called, received, all the text message timings, and location.
This time-wasting nonsense is wearying.
Oh, just to add...had that man the Smith family saw been Maddie’s abductor, it’s obvious he knew the area and back streets very well — as CB would have. The route he’d have to of taken from the OC is in a zig-zag, meaning he knew the back roads and where they led. Gerry had never been to the resort before, and as they’d spent all their days inside the complex (by the pool when it wasn’t raining, playing tennis etc) or at the beach with his family, he wouldn’t have even known where the back streets led. It’s all nonsense to suggest that man was Gerry when witnesses proved where he was at 10pm. Madness.
