From Jez Wilkin’s Rogatory
‘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. ‘
I think Pathfinder deserves an apology.
Mrs Murat saw a woman in a plum top standing outside the family's apartment en route to Baptista supermarket. About 19h50 she went to the "Batista" supermarket to buy bread. She would have travelled down Rua Dr Francisco G.M. where the tapas group all walked to and from their apartments to the Tapas restaurant
https://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/JENNIFER-MURAT.htm Mrs Murat also described seeing a woman standing outside the (McCann) family's apartment on the night Madeleine went missing.
"I noticed her there and she kind of looked as if she was trying to hide from me. I do remember she was wearing a plum-coloured top," she said.

His words are, as taken from your quote, " 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". This was on Rua Aghostina de Silva.
Jez knew which the McCann apartment was, so the woman in purple wasn't standing outside their apartment and she was not on Mrs Murats route to Baptista supermarket.
In the meantime from Jane Tanners May4th statement
At about 19.00 they all went back to their own apartments with the children. The witness bathed her children, read them a story and put them to bed. E**e who was unwell and having trouble sleeping, stayed with her father, who had arrived in the meantime. The witness went for dinner at the Tapas restaurant at about 20.30.
Timewise it could physically have been Jane, but so many differences it seems very unlikely.
- Wearing purple v Maroon top ?
- Slim, long black haired woman v Janes regular figure, not one most would describe as slim and brown hair, not black
- Rua Aghostina v Rua Francisco
- 7.50pm v 8.15 pm
It all very tenuous.
What I truly resent is pathfinder virtually accusing Jane of being the woman in purple, when he doesn't know. Stop it pathfinder; you go too far. A bit of honour would go down well.No apology from me. Pathfinder owes Jane an apology though
