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

[Vertigo Swirl]

Equally stupid then.

Not in my opinion, risky but less crazy.  In any case it’s quite possible Smithman is perfectly innocent and not involved at all.

And what about the PJ know who he was because he was on video.

Then why hasn’t he come forward ?

How do we know he hasn't?

[Robittybob1]

How do we know he hasn't?

That is the thing about coming forward via "Crimestoppers" the information is then kept confidential.  Even if someone comes forward and confidentially admits carrying  a child through PdL at that time, can the PJ ever with 100% certainty say he was the same man seen by the Smiths.   No they can't.  And the PJ are stuck by the  confidentiality arrangement of Crimestoppers so they can't tell us he came forward.

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.

Perhaps Smithman knew someone with a big freezer?

Maybe he got run over and died.

Doesn't everyone?

I'm sure they can come forward and tell us.

I can't see why they would.

Who is they?  The PJ or the person coming forward?  It depends whether you want anonymity or not AFAIK.

Not at all sure the PJ do anonymity.

But it matters not a jot.

All it would take is "Smithman has been eliminated from our enquiry".

End of.

He would have been classed as a tourist committing suicide if that had happened IMO.

Do they even do that?  "Smithman has been eliminated from our enquiry"  That sounds a bit decisive IMO.

OG has said the Smithman e-fits are no longer of interest.

These efits were received by the Operation Grange team in September 2008
as part of a dossier of material handed to the MPS by private
investigators that had been working on the case.  The MPS will not comment
on whether identifications have or have not been made however the efits do
not form part of any current appeal.
