Are you saying Tannerman and Innocentman are not the same person? Tannerman looks nothing like Smithman either.
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.

How can we know ?
I have a feeling Ms Tanner saw Smithman, not Innocentman.

What time do you think that would be, then ?
I believe everything. And l believe nothing.
I suspect everyone. And l suspect no one.
I gather the facts, examine the clues... and before   you know it, the case is solved!"

Or maybe not -

I believe Tannerman was walking in the wrong direction to be Smithman and the dogs show us the way in which she left the apartment.

The dogs show what her last route wasn't.

The dogs show us the way from inside to outside to the flower bed at the bottom of the back steps.

Concealment would explain the light scent.

Possibly. Were you speaking of the UK dogs ?

What Eddie smelt immediately when the door was open was stronger months back (unless there was a clandestine death in the flat after Madeleine disappeared) and, since no remains were found in the flat, likely followed them where they went.

There's only one suitcase in that wardrobe. Did they board that plane on 28 April with two luggage tags?

It makes no sense at all actually and this is why RW took care of saying they were almost sure, but not sure.. Imo, this decision to innocent Tannerman was partly a wishful thinking and partly untying a anti-productive knot that hampered any progress.

How do we know this is the reason Redwood says they're not 100% sure that Tannerman is being ruled out, Anne? They have not made their reasoning open to the public.

It would however be very interesting to know exactly on what grounds SY feel (almost) able to rule him out. Knowing their reasons would clear up most of the questions we have here.

SY are of course under no obligation to reveal their reasoning, but I wonder if it is reasonable to imagine that at some point they may choose to do so. Or it might come out some other way.

In the Barry George case, for example, there was a great deal of information in the public domain as to the reasons why certain things were being ruled in and ruled out.

Perhaps we can hope for this here.
