Crecheman's identity finally revealed

[John]

How much trust do you put in the utterances of amaral... I put far more trust in the, statements by the two UK officers

Aye, that may be so but they weren't there and Amaral was.

[Mr Gray]

Aye, that may be so but they weren't there and Amaral was.

True... But I have my very good reasons

[carlymichelle]

so in other words  certian people have   been saying for years and years this father  was the could be abductor and he  wasnt? not that  it is  news  we  knew he  wasnt the so callled abductor years   ago

[jassi]

Could she have visited the Payne apartment?

Doing the rounds maybe?

[Mr Gray]

There us still no definitive proof that JT did not see the alleged abductor....

And you don't think there's a clue in OG not looking for Tannerman anymore ?

[Mr Gray]

I don't think OG are telling us who they are looking for.... Apart from not the McCann's of course

[John]

By all logic and commonsense the probability of an abductor matching the exact description of Dr Totman and his daughter must be extremely slim.  It is beginning to look more and more likely that she was lifted from the street.

You must agree that it’s a very strange way of looking for someone by telling the public you’ve already found them

[Carana]

It is a bit strange I agree.  If Dr Totman was resident in Block 4 and was returning from the night creche located above OC Reception then why was he walking from west to east past Block 5 and not the other way round?

There are potentially details that weren't considered necessary to state in Rowley's short explanation to the media, as the focus was to get witnesses to come forward re the Smithman sighting, not to satisfy the curiosity of armchair sleuths, after all. Presumably. IMO:

For example, had they dined or gone for a drink at around that time? If so, was he carrying his child to the place? Had something been forgotten upon going back?

[Carana]

Pure supposition.

I can't see anything that back up that theory, either.

But they haven't said they have found him....

I did once suggest that what would be interesting would be to have a little walk round Luz around 9 to 10..at a, similar time of year.... How common is it to see a man carrying a child

How many children were sleeping in the creche that night?  I seem to remember 11, but may be wrong.  Each would need to be collected by parents the majority of whom were likely to be staying in the near vicinity and unlikely to have cars, I would say that it can't be that uncommon a sight really.

[Robittybob1]

They( police) might have gone passed that point as you say, but if true it would show them all (Tapas group) in a very poor light

Prank theory shows them in a poor light.  But not involved in the actual abduction which is the crux of this case as far as Rowley  is concerned.  He is saying let's not focus on how she got out but she is outside somehow and is abducted.

Like everything else, Rowley's view is only a theory - no proof.
