Was there really a 'missing' luggage bag?

A tennis bag is quite unique in that it is long enough to accommodate racquets and their holders.  That holdall shown at the station and later sitting on the table certainly wouldn't fit into that category.

That bottom case looks very much like the one in the wardrobe Mo.

The holdall at the station, is not the one on the table John.

How did what looks enormously like a carry-on small black case turn into a blue tennis bag?

FWIW and for info,that cant be the same bag, there is no mass  area beyond the silver piece whichever way you view it, the tag sits right on the edge of the case, unlike the one in the wardrobe

 @carana, different peoples minds work in different ways, i offered a post earlier in the thread suggesting how

Ok, I'll have a look back. Maybe I'm colour-blind.

I have to say if you look at the bigger picture of the wardrobe the bag in there appears to have brown handles against a darker contrast of black or blue of the bag itself.

Looking at those handles i think it is safe to rule the case out as it doesnt have handles. Also the bag photographed on the table doesnt appear to have the same brown handles as the bag in the wardrobe.

I agree the bag in the wardrobe could be either black or navy.

However i think if you look at the bigger image here:

It is clear the bag in the wardrobe has brown edging and handles.

Its  either my eyesight or my tablet not showing it clear, I cant see any handles or brown. Any case  if the theory is Gerry used that bag to carry a dead  Madeleine to wherever, why would he bring it back?  or is the theory she could have been inside it at the time? That night when photographed?

It does on my 18" widescreen laptop, it's quite clear the brown edging and handles.

One theory is perhaps there was a body in the bag then, but i think that is unlikely.

Another is that it was used as a storage option, hence the cadaver alert there.

You also have the George Brooks statement saying he saw a couple with a child about 6:00 the following morning which is around the same time Kate says they resumed their search.

Whats  Brooks statement to do with the bag?

Well, if the body was stored in the bag on the night of the 3rd and as we know the parents left their apartment to resume their search at 6:00 then we have Brooks spotting a couple with a child at 6:00 am.

Surely that photograph was taken by the police?

Sorry, I still dont understand the connection with the bag, unless you are saying Maddie was in the bag in the wardrobe all night and when they moved their stuff to their next flat, they took it, but I think their changing flats and being allowed to take their stuff was well later than 6 am 4thMay, I could be wrong

yes it was, and?
