Perhaps ferryman with his extensive experience of submitting FOI requests could take on the task ? Oh no wait a minute.............!!

Perhaps he would like to furnish us with all the details of what happened.

Now tell me if I'm wrong.

The man's face could not been clearly seen.

What Mr. Smith'  'recognized' was the way the child was being held.
LOL - so where did the e-fits come from then Stephen?  People who never saw Smithman's face clearly?  How does that work then?

Wherever they came from, SY seemed very happy with them to be promoting them.

They didn't look too happy on the CW program. In fact Kate looked very uncomfortable. Gerry had that blank look about him.

But, even without a face recognition, The time, place, attire of the man and child could have been exposed for attention- same way 'Tannerman' was.. Oh, his many photo fits were.....'interesting' some claim even entertaining...

Would Smithman have been more interesting or less important had he been described as a tubby grey Portuguese-looking man in a blue T-Shirt & jeans, carrying a young girl in pyjamas?

Interesting?   What do you mean? I was highlighting the similarities of the photo fits of 'Tannerman' and 'Smithman'.

I was then asking why push one person of interest and NOT the other. Both are important in my opinion, to eliminate or investigate further.

Hmmm

The only similarities are the clothing descriptions & both men were seen carrying a child within the timeframe Madeleine went missing.
Is Smithman only important because of what he was described as wearing?

Smithman is important because he has not yet  been identified, nor his presence explained.

You have lost the meaning of the post.  I don't want to keep replying with the same sentence.

If there was NO facial description
  of 'Smithman' as there was none for 'Tannerman'- then why not USE clothes as a description- same as was used to promote 'Tannerman' e-fit.

I.E  both could have been promoted as suspects or people of interest, or people to be eliminated.

If this is still not clear then please just leave it, because it could be embarrassing.

Ok, so I have been away from this site for a while.  But out of interest, the McCanns are still showing Tannerman on the main page of their official website.  As we have established, SY have almost certainly ruled out that man are are focusing on the edits below.

Has anyone moved this story on at all -- has anyone asked the McCanns, or the webmaster, why the image is still there?  Does seem a little sloppy if it hasn't been updated.  Anyone got the official contact details for the McCanns or their webmaster?  I'm happy to get in touch to put forward a suggestion that they place the SY e-fits below on the front page...



And the e-fit for those of you who are unfamiliar (I'm thinking Guests):

--
On 12 May 2011 the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) announced that, at the request of the Home Secretary, it had agreed to bring its particular expertise to the Madeleine McCann case.

The then Commissioner, Sir Paul Stephenson, considered the request and took the decision that on balance it was the right thing to do. This was subject to funding being made available by the Home Office, as this case is beyond the MPS's jurisdiction.  The Portuguese authorities retain the lead.

I believe someone from the McCann camp has suggested SY asked them to leave Tannerman on their site.

It's a strange old world to be sure!
