4078    “Yeah. And then it says what did you do next? Well you went back to your apartment to look after your granddaughters and at some point you had a little look around but couldn’t remember whether that was…”

 Reply    “That would have been before I went back to the apartment. I can, I can, I can only assume that I went back to the apartment to let Fiona, to release Fiona so she could come and be there for Kate.”

 4078    “And then you went back to the Tapas bar to collect the belongings that had been left.”

 Reply    “Yeah.”

Smithman carrying a child in his arms checked his watch after passing the Smith family and the time was 10:03. Both are still unidentified 10 years later.

If only we could show the till printout to the witnesses maybe they would say which sales (from 21.39 onwards) are relevant to timing the sighting.

I've imagined Aoife looking at the photos of beige pants with buttons that Jeanne darc posted, because she could provide a solid clue. But, no, I do strongly hope that Aoife will never see those photos.

"On the evening I was wearing brown jeans/cord style trousers, a pale blue stripe top, and Jane had taken my jumper which was blue.  The nights were quite chilly which is why Jane had my jumper I am quite used to the cold." (Russell O'Brien)

It sounds Mr O'Brien isn't Smithman.
But the jumper was purple, not blue.

I am still not sure that it wasn't the same man.  Scotland Yard did not state categorically that it was not the same man.  And as far as I can see the man that Jane Tanner saw was coming from entirely the wrong direction from the night creche.

Apparently so, but SY seem quite happy with that.

No, but why should they show 'new' e-fits if they are after someone else not shown in those e-ifits ? One might expect them not to say anything.

Do you mean that Kate & Gerry might actually be suspects then ?

SY have said that they've identified Tannerman but not Smithman, I'm sure they'd have asked Tannerman if he was still wandering around an hour later.

Thanks Anne I've seen her purple top. I can't understand why the police didn't ask them what they were wearing.

Excellent point Cariad

Scotland Yard have identified,  questioned, and eliminated the innocent father Jane Tanner saw that night  ...  they   know  it wasn't him the Smith family saw almost an hour later

...  and still the man Jane Tanner saw is displayed on the McCann official website,  asking people to identify him

Someone mentioned  a  'wild goose chase' earlier

...  I concur
