Is it true the PJ may have "Smithman" on video?

This is not contentious beyond Libel.  And has no bearing on The Case.

Again, I'll check the following if considered contentious.  AFAIK, the Smithman e-fits were never published on the Portuguese pages of the Find Madeleine website.

Any further comments accusing Clarence Mitchell of covering up something or another will be Deleted.

If they didn't have access to a car then how else could they remove her body?

They wouldn't need to be mentally ill. Just in a deperate situation where they had no other choice.

A small child could easily be placed into a holdall.

Assuming Smithman was someone sinister carrying a dead body what did he then do?  According to a geologist the ground was hard.  Smithman wasn't carrying a spade.  What sort of implement would you expect to find hanging around that could be used for a dig?  Difficult to throw a body into the Ocean without it washing up some place.

Presumably unless evidence can be produced thereof?

As in when Mr Mitchell stated clearly that deploying PIs in Portugal during a live PJ investigation was legal, when clearly he knew it wasn't.

I'll dig out the cite, should you wish.

[Holly Goodhead]

As far as I can remember, the Smithman e-fits were not produced in Kate's book.  Allegedly due to the expense of investigating this sighting.

I'll dig it out if this is contentious.

The Smithman e-fits are not in KM's book.  The index and contents refer to the sighting by an Irish family.  No mention of the surname.

Cite for Clarence saying it was legal... And a cite to show its illegal .. The law has never been quoted in 12 years

What I found interesting was Patrick Kennedy admitting that what he and Metodo 3 were doing was illegal but carried on all the same.  Arrogance personified imo.

True, but maybe the weight of the child made it awkward to carry in a holdall.
Easier to carry with both arms against the chest, as Smithman did.

I'm of the opinion that her body was, possibly, disposed of in a bin.

Have you not watched to 10th anniversary docudramas?

He's had a very succesful career.

Its been mentioned before,a big strapping lad like C McKeague disappears into the disposal system why not a child?

MM's weight and size would be little more than most airline carriers allow as hand luggage. 

If GM was Smithman how many bins did he past before the sighting?

Were search and rescue dogs deployed in the vicinity CM went missing in the immediate aftermath?

I think the initial thoughts were that he was walking home,and it was later after no trace was found that thoughts turned to the waste disposal system.
