She/woman in purple, was seen on the corner of the street by independent witnesses, Jenny Murat and Jeremy Wilkens hours before Madeleine went missing. Police withheld her name but it is believed she had a connection with a worker at the resort. I will look for the reference.
A woman in purple was seen by Jenny Murat at 8pm, although she never reported it to the police in her statement dated 15th May 2007.
Here's Jeremy Wilkin's rog statement:
Q. Relative to whether I know Jane Tanner;
Now I know her name, description of the clothes and photos which I have seen in the press. At that time I knew of her as a member of the group but did not know her name. I do not remember having seen her when I spoke with Gerry, but I believe I saw her when I first ventured out. She was stopped on the street in front of one of the group's apartments when I passed her down towards the exit to my apartment. I do not know if it was her apartment or not. I remember that she was wearing the colour purple.
