How do you think the 11 children from 8 different families using the creche that night got back to their apartments?
Was the information there right from the beginning?
It does not appear to me to have been a herculean task.
The Policia Judiciaria were in possession of Jane Tanner's witness statement ... and as the only eye witness testimony I think it would have made sense to prioritise it and put it together immediately.
- Speak to the on duty nannies at the creche
- Check the names of the children present that evening and collected from the creche
- Speak to the parents to ascertain their route home and if they had seen anything out of place or suspicious now that a child was missing
- Pay particular attention to those whose path took them anywhere near the vicinity of block 5
I don't think that amounts to hindsight ... I think it amounts to diligence and a very obvious sequence of events which should have been dealt with as a matter of urgency.
In my opinion there is an obvious outrage here.
It is that evidence in the shape of a parent who collected his child from a creche on the night Madeleine disappeared ... and whose route home took him into the vicinity of the the apartment from where she disappeared ... was missed by the initial investigators.
