Gerry and Jez chat while Jane walks by. Seconds later she spots Tannerman!

(snip)... if Jez had been there I am sure he would have confirmed Jane's account.

Yes so why did the producers deliberately leave that fact out?
JW's statements were definitely known to the documentary's writers and to that hired PI.
Why didn't he mention them in defence of JT instead of making her look like a liar?
And why did the production proceed to film the chat on the fictional side of the street?

Was Clarence involved in the production in any way?  He can be awfully persuasive

(snip) ... overwrought ... remembered things differently ... (snip)

Do you think the location of the chat is the only fact which might have been misremembered due to being overwrought?

Here's a photo taken on location Jassi.

I believe something was said along the lines of ... it didn't really matter exactly where the men were standing the important event being filmed was Jane and the man she saw at the top of the street.
Correct me if I am wrong ... but it certainly fits the occasion ... Jane and the man she saw.  The men saw neither and were merely a backdrop to the narrative.

I don't claim to be a psychologist by any means but when some trauma occurs the brain has a habit of blanking out certain events.  Maybe the more learned among us can explain it better?

The film's false claim that JT wrongly remembered the chat location would, if correct, automatically raise the question, well if someone can't remember where the chat was, they probably misremembered where the man carrying a child was, for example maybe he was crossing the road south of tapas reception. If a witness misremembers the location of a chat bv placing it on the wrong side of the road, it casts doubt on the accuracy of every other  thing they remember on that evening doesn't it? Basically the film insults JT, a completely honest witness, by filming the chat in the opposite place to where she told them it was.

It's all a bit puzzling, but it must have been portrayed like that  to fit someone's agenda.

My impression was that they were humouring Gerry because they were anxious to get on with filming the important issue ... which was Jane's sighting and where she was at the time.

It's quite amazing really how people were present in that road at about the same time but none of them saw each other.

Matt was checking between five to and 9pm.
The Moyes returned from town at 9pm ish and were on their balcony at 9.15pm and saw no-one.
Gerry set off to check at 9.05pm
Jez was around between 9.10 and 9.15pm.
The executive chef Arlindo Epifanio Goncalves Fernandes Peleja arrived in the road at 9.10pm and parked his car. He saw no-one.
Jane walked up at 9.15pm but wasn't seen. She saw a man with a child but no-one else saw him.

And presumably neither Matt, Jane or Russel were observed by anyone  when they made their trips a little later

Sorry but there is no place in investigation for "humouring" a witness.
JT remembered the carrier's location correctly, therefore she remembered the chat location correctly.
The two events are only seconds apart, so it's impossible she would remember one correctly and the other completely incorrectly.
Fact is she remembered both the chat location and the carrier location correctly.
You can't have one without the other.

Gerry said he remembered looking up at Jes because he was taller. If Jes was on the road then he shouldn't be unless he's a lot taller.

But haven't we been told that he is a giant of a man - well over 6 foot
