You dont know what you are talking about. 

How do YOU KNOW Madeleine isn't still alive ?

Seems SY have given The Mccanns hope, the optimism that they now show. 

So you know better than SY, do you ?

Well I never! Is this the person who still insists on telling stories about Tannerman, despite SY having almost certainly eliminated him? Apparently more than one person thinks they know better than SY.

Casey Anthony was also acquitted.  Beat that one.  Dogs and all.

So was this man first time round  https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/may/21/killer-convicted-double-jeopardy and this one http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-23101232.. Your point?

[Alice Purjorick]

its pathetic you are still trying to make the same stale old point

Which point would that be in your expert opinion ?

[Alice Purjorick]

Let's have the cite, or are you admitting to a gross exaggeration?

The cite of what?
Have you not worked it out yet?
Oh well back to the drawing board.

OK, cites for all the  hundreds of thousands of people  who drove off in their cars leaving their children asleep in bed, please.

Put your proof where your mouth is, if you dont mind.

Don't keep twisting it ... wriggling your way out   

You cant give a cite, can you ?

[mercury]

Did you read them ?  No

Yes
I will take your posts seriously once you expunge the speculative and wishful and ad hms out of them, then theyd be worth considering

SY have not eliminated Tannerman, they introduced another option which at the time they were favouring.

Try getting your facts straight

They more or less have by their words

I said 'almost certainly' eliminated. If you think they were still looking at anyone taking Madeleine from G5A between 9pm and 9.30pm, watch Crimewatch again; tick tock tick tock, the time moved on. Smithman was a replacement, not an alternative. Tannerman as an abductor is not a fact, despite your posts suggesting he is.

If someone had been seated on an armchair in the apartment at around 2100 which had vanished from its locus by 2200 ... what would you think about the sighting of a person who was witnessed carrying a matching armchair away from the vicinity of the premises at around 2115?

I can see where you're coming from.  It is tempting to put one and one together and get two.
But there also could actually be multiple other reasons that could result in the same pattern of these two sightings.

The thing about Tannerman/Crechman is that their appearance and clothing matched rather well.  Add to that the fact that they carried a small child which was also similarly clad, introduce the timng and the chances that Crechman was Tannerman is not absolute but very compelling. I don't think Redwood would have stuck his neck out on live national TV if he wasn't reasonably convinced.  What worries me about this though is why Crechman never came forward to clear this up years ago and why even now he was gven anonymity when others in Portugal haven't?

Clearly there is one law here in England and another in Portugal.

One article (posted on here ages ago) stated that he did go the police back in 2007 - but it didn't state which police. If he did, then his statement may have been overlooked until the review.

I never got the impression that Redwood had formally eliminated Tannerman, but believed that there was a strong possibility that Crècheman was Tannerman. The point being, IMO, was to give more emphasis to Smithman to try to jog memories of that later timeframe.

The way I took the emphasis on Smithman was SY hinting they know who he is but gently pressing on his conscience to hand himself in a finally tell what happened back in PdL.  If I can work out who it was surely they can too.
