The question was posed by Icabod and not myself.

Word to the wise, your futile attempts to make me seem foolish are seriously backfiring. I'd give it up now while you still have a shred of credibility left

No, Benice, JT saw no little girl, only feet, a poor indication for age and sex.

No Anne, that's not true.  She saw enough to be able to describe her pajamas, which IMO did not match pajamas which any four year old boy would ever wear.

I don't believe they were the same person.

I don't believe they were the same person.

I don't think they were either

Is it the time lapse between sightings that convinces you  ?

I don't believe either person was the abductor.

What makes you ask the question?

It was a polite enquiry, showing interest in your opinion

How do you explain that neither child was dressed appropriately for the weather ? Wouldn't that be a coincidence too far if not the same carrier ?

I beg your pardon - but my opinion was in response to the question "How likely is it that Jane Tanner and the Smiths saw the 'same' man ?"

Your thread I believe - I gave a polite answer to your question.

[AnneGuedes]

The inappropriate way the child was dressed ? Surely two separate father's would not disregard their child's comfort on such a cold night in the very same way ?

Surely not, especially if the child is a little girl, by nature a princess, fragile and delicate.

...  and I found myself agreeing with you

I was interested if your reasoning was the same as mine  (  that the lapse of time between sightings made the it unlikely that it was the same man  )

You don't think either sighting was the abductor though ?

I really am interested in your alternative theory  ...   will you share  ?

It might be an idea to stop telling the mods how to do their jobs sadie

They managed perfectly well before the recent influx of us newbies ...  and they'll manage  perfectly well after we've gone

The owner of this website runs the board his way  ...  accept it or leave, that's my advice   (  just please stop complaining all the time  )

Some people creep, I dont

Ah how the request of reconstruction was right ! These details (description of the pyjama), essential since Jane Watson deduced from them she saw a girl, were not even part of the McCann reconstruction... Bad job.

That has always been a sticking point for me.   I just don't see how Jane could have seen the details on the small part of the pyjama bottoms visible  ...  in the dark ...  at that distance ...  in a fleeting moment

It wasn't all : The shoes were black in colour and classic in style, shoes with a light heel.
