Was Mr Smiths claim just pie in the sky after all?

[sadie]

I do not know. IMO is possible they are the same but if so that would mean a change into (or addition of) a longsleeved top occured prior to smith sighting.

Exactly.

And if it wasn't Madeleine being carried, then why hasn't the man come forward after all the publicity ?

As presumably a father, if he wre not the abductor, surely he would want to help the search for a missing girl of about the same age as his daughter.

Nah, sorry Anne.  Good try.

...Staff quarters in Rua D'Escola .... .

In this building, in addition to the apartments where the uk holiday company housed a good number of the seasonal workers (eg some of the nannies and instructors etc), there are also apartments of permenant residents, also apartments which are holiday second homes / holiday rentals.

Didn't know that.  Thanks pegasus.

[icabodcrane]

No, I dont.

Most likely it is Madeleine.

But you insisted the man Jane Tanner saw was abducting Madeleine  didn't you  ? 

You spoke to Scotland about your theory,  you assured us 

Well,  it appears they put your theory in the [ censored word ] file,  doesn't it  ? 

So why should we  give credibility to anything else you  say,  when you have been completely, and utterly,  ignored by the police you have been pestering  with your nonsense for years    ?

And I never been to portugal. There are many dozens apartments there on about 7 floors.

I think they put a certain other theory in the [ censored word ] file actually..

Do you  ? 

Have you spoken to Scotland Yard as well then  ?

I thought sadie was our only member who had a direct line

[Silkywhiskers]

More spin?

SY have told us in no uncertain terms that Smithman is The One.

The one who took Madeleine.

If Smithman wasn't The One, we still wouldn't know about him.  Just another dad, no reason to announce it on Crime watch.

No, I heard it on the news.

DCI Andy Redwood states wanting to know who 'Smithman' is, because ' he may be an innocent person who can be ruled out of the investigation'.

Nowhere does Scotland Yard make a categorical statement regarding his purpose or identity.

Well well

So you are diminishing the relevance of the man the Smiths saw that night too  ?   (  in line with the McCann approach  ) 

You are becoming something of  McCann apologist of late Sherlock  ...   which is rather disappointing

[AnneGuedes]

At least your account of the truth is clear : both Smithman and Mrs McCann are innocent.
What about Mr McCann ?

Bwahaha

I can tell them who he is.

If folks are honest with themselves they will admit what their first thought was on seeing the Smithman

If you have evidence for them I am sure they would be delighted to hear from you.

I have posted this link before

If you look in the right place you can find all the official comment by the MPS.
Hint enter Madeleine McCann in the search box on the MPS site then trawl.
