Why do some posters think Smithman never existed when nine people saw him? Is his existence still a problem for some??

The existence of a man with a child= smithman, I believe they saw him, but not convinced it was  Maddie

Well, I don't know.  I just don't see things in quite the convoluted way that some do.  God knows who Smithman was, but he certainly existed.

I can think of millions of reasons why Smithman does not exist.
Prove he does.

Well only since Andy greased Tannerman The Abductor......it takes some people along time to work out the significance of that action.

Martin Smith said it definitely wasn't Murat he saw (even though he didn't have his glasses on)
Why would Smith have been asked about Murat by the PJ without being also shown photos of the male members of the Tapas group?

Oh my goodness.  Someone beat me to the gun, and removed posts that I might well have left standing.

I don't think that's quite right, Misty.

I think Martin Smith said about the man he saw that he wasn't wearing glasses, to emphasise that he wasn't Robert Murat who, of course, does ...

He [Martin Smith] cannot state if it was dark or lighter in tone. He did not wear glasses and had no beard or moustache. He did not notice any other relevant details partly due to the fact that the lighting was not very good.

Well, thank you for that.  I presume it was a compliment.
