Should We Doubt the Smith's Testimony ?

[pathfinder73]

Tannerman has not been conclusively ruled out and smithman may be an innocent tourist

An innocent tourist didn't hide efits. Time for the yard to investigate the samsung mobiles.

They seem to be on the right track. When they go off it I may do that.

I can't fathom why there are those who think they are entitled to know everything the police know in an active investigation; one thing I am sure of is that SY know a great deal more about Madeleine's case than has been released into the public domain.

I don't profess to know much about what two groups of fuzz think; they sure as hell know a lot more than they tell the public and more than the two or three flavours of posters on here.
The Yard did however tell the public (refer to Crimewatch if you are in doubt) that the man Jane Tanner saw was not "the abductor" and that Smithman remains an unidentified person of interest. You just can't odds it no matter how many mirrors and how much smoke you try to use.

you will find that they have not ruled tannerman completely...
Police probe: DCI Andy Redwood last night reveals that he was 'almost certain that the man seen by Jane Tanner is not Madeleine's abductor'

You mean Andy Redwood's "almost certain we are positive we might have" routine.
The Yard don't seem to be asking for asking Tannerman II to be coming forward though do they?

I mean exactly what I said

Another man seen carrying a child near to the apartments where the family were staying - who was for years considered the chief suspect - has been excluded from the investigation.

Care to answer the question asked ?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/madeleinemccann/10402102/Madeleine-McCann-case-reopened-by-Portugal-police.html

And from Telegraph article in the link

"Detective chief inspector Andy Redwood, who is leading the British investigation, said witnesses had spotted a man carrying a young child fitting Madeleine's description towards the port area of Praia da Luz."

Wow.  Not to the beach, to the beach.  Not to the mound, to the mound.  The Telegraph has now invented to the port, to the port.  Thank goodness we don't have a port, or someone would suggest digging it up.

From the same article
"Correio da Manha, a Portuguese newspaper, has reported officers have been looking at the possibility that a foreign paedophile gang took Madeleine." (in a planned abduction.)  I wonder if CdM is correct about this?

Presumably there is a planned abduction thread on here.  I have been working on a planned abduction theory at ShiningInLuz and I was just about to start on the problems with that idea.  I'd like to see what you lot have already said about a planned abduction.

Thanks!

Ha ha. Crecheman taking his child from the creche but heading towards it and Smithman heading towards a non existent port. Some people need to study Praia da Luz more closely I think.

This is a 13 second video clip which provides a great perspective of the Smith's sighting. The pavements  & road appear narrower than in the PJ photos in the files.

I hadn't really noticed the bollard on the pavement at approximately the position Martin and Mary were when passing the individual.

I hadn't really noticed the bollard on the pavement at approximately the position Martin and Mary were when passing the individual.

Nor had I, but it was there in  the 2007 photos. Having watched Birch walk down the road, it struck me how little passing space there would have been if the Smiths were walking 2 abreast. There appears to be barely enough room for a person to walk safely on the pavement (especially in the dark).

Walkers on that pavement would have had two obstacles to avoid in 2007 there was a pole for the road sign right on the curve of the pavement.
I don't see it on the latest footage.

I think it possible that at that point on the pavement people would walk single file or walk on the road.

Watching Birch walking toward camera makes you realise how little room there is for passing.
