Only if the child was Madeleine and not the man's own child.
Dr Totmans child was carried to a different destination to that of Tannermans child.
Dr T had to walk in a southerly direction, down Rua Dr FGM, to access the entrance to his apartment block
Yet, Jane Tanner witnessed Tannerman carry on walking in an easterly direction along Rua Dr A de S.
This was towards, but probably not to Murats villa.
Most likely, with Gerry and Jez chatting in the way and also Jane Tanner walking up the hill of Rua Dr FGM towards Tannerman and ?Madeleine?, the pick up vehicle had not arrived. Because the driver had taken fright at the thought of passing them and the possibility of being spotted ?
IMO, Tannerman had nowhere to go, he knew that Jane would be following him if he doubled back, so he made a snap decision to carry on in the easterly direction, with the intention of turning right down the first alleyway - and taking the short circular route via the alleyway to the car park where the pick up vehicle was parked. See G Earth.
If he had been hiding in the shadows of OC car park waiting to be picked up, Tannerman might even not have known that the pick up / getaway vehicle had shot off in the opposite direction.
Just my thoughts, but everything fits. Check it out on Google earth.
Soz, Gunit, but you have got it wrong; Tannerman and Dr T were different people walking in different directions and at different times..
Come on Gunit, how about some more help? I remember you helped me hone my thoughts last time ... and you are doing well again
Editted to add:
Please note that this is based upon DCI Redwood stating in Crimewatch that Dr Totman was staying in block 6.
I can remember a long discussion about that at the time. So did DCI Redwood get it wrong ? … or has the MagicK anti-Justice Disinformation set up been at work again? Changing the facts ?
