tut tut ! We have a choice of two, the mysterious 'egg man' that morphed many characteristics as sighted by Jane Tanner a member of the same holiday group; which incidentally was in the road where Mr McC (M's father) stood chatting with JW someone he previously paid tennis with, but they heard or saw nothing, either of abduction or Mrs Tanner, this was around 9.20 Theory being either entrance via the unlocked patio door, thus in the apartment with Mr McC, or had gained entry via the ''jemmied'' shutter, unlocked window, exit could have been either via the front door or back out through the window. Strange as this side of the apartment was the car park & a more usual mode of abduction rather than on the hoof! But also blind to the side road where Mr McC stood and the Tapas bar where the ate.
About 9.30 Ms Tanner's partner, then checked their children again, with another holiday member MO who had said he would check the unlocked apartment of the McCanns, he noticed nothing untoward, despite two single beds being unoccupied, but can remember seeing both twins in their high sided travel cots, but M's bed not being in his line of sight was overlooked - other empty bed immediately ahead of him, under the alleged open window & shutter.
Next a sighting of a man carrying a child, was in the opposite direction as seen by the Smith family, this is about 10 pm. Later Mr Smith after much conscience searching thought he could identify the man, by his gait and method of carrying the child. That man was named.
I have no opinion to offer, since I had always thought that Madeleine had exited via the front door after waking and trying to find her parents. It can be noted in JT's rogatory interview, that she had DEADLOCKED the door of their apartment, thus preventing her daughter from exiting, the two girls being of the same age and not confined to a cot. I've never been able to establish whether apartment 5A's front door was deadlocked I've always assumed it wasn't.
The only [ censored word ] I can offer is to turn over the details to make some sense of them, merely inquisitive.
But with many years of interest of abductions, the statistics connected to them, I sadly don't give a slim chance the this child is still alive. But I suppose, there is always hope. But can we extend that hope to April Jones as well?
The McCanns and their family paid the ultimate price for leaving these children homealone, it wasn't a chance happening, but something they had done until disaster struck on the forth night and it is with profound sadness that they will have to also live with knowing these children, or a combination of them cried on the Tuesday for over an hour.
Some burden to carry until the end of your days
