How likely is it that Jane Tanner and the Smiths saw the 'same' man ?

[AnneGuedes]

Yes, EVERY variation of any scenario could have been examined, that's why modern police forces tend to use computers these days, instead of real life reconstructions.

Let's hope you're right and that one day, thanks to computing, the Yard will at least explain what happened to Madeleine.

Well they have already established by the forensic analysis of the timelines that there was clearly an opportunity for Madeleine to have been removed from the apartment.

This is no revelation. Have you a link for the "clearly" ?
Even without a computer program the PGR didn't discard it, though not "clear".

You can really not make it clearer than Scotland Yard does here -

All hot air and spin for we haven't got a bloody clue.   

DCI Redwood >>"I believe she is still alive because...one, she is alive and two, sadly she's not.  There is a real possiblity that she's alive."

Thus he just construed his initial assertion.  With logic like this God help you Madeleine.

[Mrs. B]

Quite normal that WE don't have a clue, WE are not supposed to, WE are not law enforcement.

Thanks ! So his forensic timeline analysis (through computer program) shows a "clear opportunity". Unfortunately it wasn't enough to convince the PGR. But this was one year back, since then 37 full time working officers must have found more.

Yes I laughed about this strange logic in another thread where I underlined all his "I/we believe", something nobody in the world is expecting from the Yard.

Here is a graphic showing how the appearance of the abductor has morphed over 6 years.

It is very interesting that both Jane Tanner and Smith both say the man with the child did not resemble a tourist.
Also the age of the man the height and what he was wearing are very similar.    Add that to the fact that they both carried a child aged about 3/4, with blonde hair,wearing light coloured pyjama's who had bare feet, and it would sound as though it was the same person that they saw.

As to the frill on the bottom of the pyjama's,   Jane said at first she had said she thought it was  a turn up on the bottom of the pyjama's,   then she learned that Madeleine's pyjama's had a frill on the bottom of them which could have been what she saw.

Also another point someone made  that Madeleine's pyjama's were shorts and so Jane wouldn't have been able to see the bottom of them.   Remember Madeleine was small for her age,   so the shorts could have been longer on her than they would have been on a taller child of her age.

Is it possible this man met up with an accompolice before carrying on down to the beach area?    Maybe as there was a certain time and place he had to be at?

John, you made me laugh so much yesterday night, I almost woke up to laugh !
I have to say thank you !

Are they?     I do believe they are witnesses accounts of men that were seen hanging around the apartment.

One has to admit that most of those gentlemen are freaking out, as in tales. I can't think of Madeleine opening her eyes on them : no nightmare but reality !

[John]

Can someone answer this question.  How the hell could Jane Tanner provide facial details when she never saw the guys face?

This was NOT Jane Tanners photfit.  I am surprised that you didn't know that.

I feel sure that you wouldn't want to create a new myth.

You are correct of course Sadie.  The above sketch was based on an interview with Gail Cooper,
a grandmother from Nottinghamshire, who originally gave a statement to police in May 2009.

PS.  I have corrected the original post and those which followed. TY

Spot the George Harrison look-a-like.
