Now also reports of video footage of a girl 15-20 and a woman 45-50.
He had a fair amount of dressing up gear too. All very ostentatious and performance.

The one thing that gives me pause and a teensy bit of hope for Maddie, is that the alleged perp (surprisingly) did not kill the women he is known to have raped. imo.The Times appears to havc more on the video victims - paywall though.
“A video cassette found at the farmhouse in Praia da Luz showed him raping a 72-year-old American woman in 2005 after he broke into her villa under a mile from the McCann family’s holiday apartment. The video also showed a woman aged 15 to 20 tied up who was forced to perform a sex act. He also filmed an attack on a third woman aged between 45 and 50.”
Earlier reports indicate it was a couple of his 'friends' who stole his video camera when he was in jail briefly in 2006. I wonder, when he got out of jail and found his video equipment was missing, wouldn't he have freaked out, knowing someone out there had it and could turn it into police? You'd kind of think he might quit with the videography after that, not to mention move in a hurry.The Times appears to havc more on the video victims - paywall though.

Yes you could be right.
For a paedophile who prefers children to rape a 72 year old is unheard of. Their attraction is limited to children. So did he make the video of rape of elderly woman to order.
they found a guy.
i would be interested to know if tanner was ever asked to confirm the guy [6'5"] was who she saw. and agreed that it was the guy she originally described as 5'7".

Ah yes- Tannerman. I had a quick google. A GP who picked his daughter up from the crèche. Apparently he’d been playing tennis with Gerry so why didn’t Tanner recognise him? Assuming she saw him play tennis that is..
Playing devils advocate, it’s possible that Tanner actually did see the abductor. It may well have been Madeleine. Bearing in mind Tanner only had a glimpse of the man in the dark. She wouldn’t be looking for anything out of the ordinary either.
He may have gone in through the door and left through the window. There wasn't much time between the time the friend of the family checked on the kids and Kate McCann checked in and found her missing. Maybe the suspect heard her coming and went out the window. JmoPart of it may have been shock, and then if they all started talking about it together and trying to figure it out as a group, IMO that leads some people to abandon or embroider their own memories in favour of the group opinion/reconstruction. IMO, police shouldn't be naive about witness statements, they can take these things into account when doing their investigation.
I haven't followed this closely from the beginning, but one area of confusion for me is the window being open. That's obviously very significant, the intruder either went in, or went out that way, or both. Even if the scene was staged, who would stage it with an open window, rather than an open door? Makes much more sense that the street door would be open, indicating the abductor went out that way, and most abductors would go out the street door.
To me, an open window, that's a big flag that says "experienced burglar". Not many adults can get in and out of windows, or would even try, but that's a preferred method of access by burglars. And were there burglars operating in and out of similar type windows in the area?
It seems possibly that's the kind of factual info that was dismissed as unimportant, while PJ put more emphasis on unreliable witness sightings.

Can you get out of a window with a three year old? I assumed in through the window, out through the doors.
jesus, he doesn't really have a type age wise does he? makes him more dangerous IMO
or she's sedated and you lower her out then follow yourself.Unless of course there was someone else he could pass her out to.
Yes the focus became Smithman, at around 10pm, who definitely wasn't Martin Smith's mate Robert Murat.
I think they were a but drunk, very relaxed and just confused. Tanner said she didn't want to say anything in case it upset Kate. It's a pity she didn't translate that as doubt about whether what she had seen wasn't suspicious.
Some perpetrators are just opportunists. They prey on the weak. Many paedophiles have abusive spouse relationships and will take advantage of any potential victim that they come across.

I'm thinking he had access to drugs and maybe sedated the McCann children. And maybe he was a perp that sedated women too. It would fit with his range of activities IMO.
