if CB is guilty...which i think based on the evidence is likely...then he most likely had a car and smithman is not maddies abductor
I read through some official reports last night, that are all factual and unbiased
The man seen by Martin Smith and his family carrying a child and who resembled Gerry, later detracted it when told that so many witnesses had Gerry sat in the Tapas Bar at 10pm that night. It was also some distance from the complex; about a quarter of a mile, I believe — who would walk down busy streets (someone said it was like Piccadilly Circus) carrying a dead child in their arms?
I believe Martin Smith was telling the truth, but the man he saw was possibly a local or holidaymaker taking their sleeping daughter home or to their hotel. If the man wasn’t British he may have no idea Smith was referring to him; it didn’t make the news for months on end, and the man probably never even read about it.
Whatever, the police ruled that sighting out as being Gerry.
There’s is the remote possibility the man was another paedophile, but again, they’re not going to walk the streets with a child they’ve kidnapped. And they certainly wouldn’t want a dead child.
The Jane Tanner sighting, which the Portuguese police said she’d made up, turned out to be a holidaymaker taking his child back from night crèche. He came forward about a year later.
But as far as the Smith sighting is concerned — it defintely wasn’t Gerry
