Why Were We Lied to By the BBC ?

[jassi]

So are you saying that Gerry and Jane concocted a story about an abductor?   Why?   Jane hardly knew Gerry.

But her partner Russell did.

Too much Opinion as Fact.  Watch it, please.

She certainly seems to be the most malleable of the group. Look how Gerry undermined her in Madeleine Was Here.

Perhaps the waiter was mistaken & had confused one of the other group members for Gerry. Maybe that.

On the night Madeleine disappeared, everything appeared normal. I remember that when I took notice of the disappearance, I had been in the restaurant speaking with my two colleagues?Ze and Ricardo who were on break. I returned to the restaurant and noticed that the table of nine was empty with the exception of the older woman. I went over to the table and joked with her: ?They've left you alone?? She responded more of less with these words: ?No, they went to see if the little girl was there.? I responded that I hoped they would find her somewhere in the apartment. At saying this, I saw the man. Who I knew later to be Madeleines father, running to the pool and to the childrens play area in the Tapas zone as if looking for someone. It immediately hit me that after talking to the older woman, that the little girl had not been found. I offered to alert the workers at the Milenium Restaurant and the man agreed. He then left again running to continue searching. I believe that this was between 21H30 and 22H00 but do not remember with certainty.

All this before 10pm, excellent, that fits nicely with my theory, thank you very much.

Really,  I think you are clutching at straws.   Jane didn't appear stupid to me and in my opinion I can't see her lying to the police about seeing a man carrying a child.   Jane was in her apartment when the alert was raised,  she only learned about Madeleine being missing from another one of the friends,  she hadn't seen Gerry,   so how was she menat to have got together with him to concoct that story?

If you read the statement properly,  you will see the waiter wasn't certain of the time.   You need to read the other waiters statement about ordering dinner.

I've read plenty of statements, & I'm quite satisfied the alarm was raised before 10pm, thankyou.

Nobody knows what another is capable of.
We don't know when she saw Gerry.

"I do not remember with certainty."

Are you saying that you missed this?  Or are you deliberately trying to mislead?

I didn't say she was stupid just easily frightened ( note her overreaction to the van surveillance). I don't think it would have been too difficult to convince her to 'remember' seeing Gerry and Wilkins, perhaps he sold it to her that if he and Kate went down the whole group would be implicated. IMO.

As to Jane being in the apartment perhaps it was one of those 'translation' errors ?

The waiter who served Russell his steak said it was as early as 9:50pm. This case has never been difficult to connect all the pieces together. The timeline is key because there is so much BS.

I've read it.

It doesn't alter my thinking. Thankyou kindly.

So smith thinks the man he saw may have been gerry but hes not sure

Apparently so.

Just like SY believe Jane Tanner didn't see an abductor, but they're not sure about that either.

So much uncertainty in this case.

Except abduction, that's a fact apparently. Although, I'm still unsure exactly what proves as much.
