An Asian man called raj

Do you remember Gerry making an appeal for the lady who Kate was chatting to to get in touch ? Trying to find it in the press I'd be interested to see what date it was

That appeal was made on 22 Aug 2007 and was about a lady at the toddler pool on Sun 3 June 2007

Even if it does not point to a perpetrator it is a line of investigation which should have been followed in 2007....

It was, using Met experts, in 2007.

Tropico didn't come in until 9th may and was there a while. I think this vessel must have been a phantom, or there was an error in recording of the vessels going out.

So do I.  So this latest news is of great interest to me.

This a belief of many others too, lizzibif . Being so close to the ocean and of course the nearby Marinas.
The Perfect getaway, if you have access to a boat.

The smith man sighting...?

[Eleanor]

The smith man sighting...?

Yes, basically.

[VIXTE]

I think she was taken into a house that has a water front with a boat..

[TitoMuzzy]

The smith man sighting...?

Walking to where exactly ?
You talk of marinas ! The nearest marina to PdL is situated in Lagos harbour, completely the opposite direction of the Smith sighting !
Also PdL does not have mooring facilities for a yacht.

Wise up folks...

That appeal was made on 22 Aug 2007 and was about a lady at the toddler pool on Sun 3 June 2007

No mention of it on 3/6
Was encouraged to learn of the large volume of information which has come through the Leicester incident room following the appeal. Hopefully the Portuguese police will have had a good reponse also and we hope to meet with them in the next couple of days for an update. Chris and Les, who travelled over with the huge inflatable banner which has been positioned near the Spanish border, are heading home today. They were very happy that the director of the Algarve tourist board allowed them to put it up in private property owned by them, with thousands of cars passing every hour and seeing Madeleine’s image and details of her disappearance and reward. Sunday papers have reported our interviews virtually verbatim but vey disappointed that the blog was lifted almost in entirety by one newspaper yesterday after expressly forbidding such an approach! The blog is to keep people visiting the website up to date
with our progress in the campaign to find Madeleine.

A curious statement is released that 'Kate is keen to get in touch with a very nice mum, who she spoke with at the toddler pool in the Ocean Club on Sunday 3rd June. She is sure she will remember the conversation and Kate would be grateful if you could get in touch with her at campaign@findmadeleine.com'
