Netflix launches new 8-part documentary about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Indeed I do.

Then you don't know anything about any of us.

[jassi]

Then you don't know anything about any of us.

Quite right, we are all anonymous.

Oh no, not boredom - I could watch  TV if I were bored, but I do agree about the entertainment value
I find Spammy particularly good.

As trolls go he’s quite good value.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Do you feel emotionally attached?

To you...?

I am not, and never have been.  I am Maureen Eleanor Eccles Lang.  Nee Mitchell.

Do we know if Totman was going straight home ? Perhaps the family had run out of milk, tea, nappies and he said he’d go to the shop and pick some up on the his way home from picking up his daughter.

There's no shop in that direction.

Eeek!  My grandson has asked me what eeek means.   This is an eeek moment.   Well done!   

[faithlilly]

There's no shop in that direction.

Isn’t there one quite near the Millennium restaurant?

Not that I am aware of.

I thought I may have misremembered as it’s a few years since I’ve been to Luz so I asked my other half and he remembers the shop to. Whether it’s there now I’ve no idea but it certainly would have been in 2007.

The only commercial business near the Millennium is the Mirage, located just south.  The Mirage is mentioned several times in the PJ-Files.  It is a restaurant/pub, hardly the place Totman would carry a child to.

Baptista was shut, due to the lateness of the hour.  That leaves two Ali Super mini markets, and O Celeiro mini market, none in the direction that Tannerman was heading.

My info comes from someone who has documented facilities in Luz (shops, bars, cafes, restaurants) from before the time Madeleine disappeared.

If you still believe there was a shop near the Millennium, you will be able to find it on Google StreetView.

By the way.  It's a fair old trek from block 4 to the Millennium.  So why was Totman toting his child?  Much easier just to leave the child at 'home', surely?

There are several shops near the Millennium though not sure if they would sell milk etc but you are right, it is a bit of a trek.

The problem is that we don’t know anything about Totman. Was he in Luz with friends ?  We’re those friends staying in the direction Totman was walking ? Had has wife gone there already and he was going to meet her? Had he left her at a restaurant and was on his way back to her ? So many possibilities and until we have more information any of them could explain his direction of travel.

If, as we've been told, he picked up the child from the night creche she had already been carried about in the cold night air for about ten minutes. Would he really get close to or reach his apartment and then turn round and head off in a different direction? Not, imo, if the rest of his family were at home. If they weren't, why was he going home in the first place? Why not join them wherever they were?

To pick something up ?

As I said until we know more it’s hard to guess Totman’s motives for walking the way he was, if indeed we are being told the truth. To suppose that OG hadn’t done their research before airing the information is simply ridiculous.

Where he was heading lay the Mirage and the Millenium. His family could have been in either of them, so if he needed something from his apartment it would have made sense to drop his child off first then nip to the apartment unencumbered imo.
