Well obviously they saw a man carrying a child but the question is - was it Madeleine? Collectively they haven't been able to tell us much about that one way or the other.
DCI Redwood said the child fitted a description close to that of Madeleine, Smith is reported to have said he doesn't recognise CB as the carrier, make of that what you will.
I was several cold nights in PdL (for example 11ºC, lower thermal sensation for windy). I never saw nobody carrying a child in pyjamas, whitout a blanket and barefoot ... That night of May 3, 2007 there were two sightings of those characteristics: JT and the Ss ...
The third Christian, neither CB nor HCW ... Friend of CB, like HB, MT, MS or NF ...
According to CP the pair hadn't spoken since CP refused to smuggle vodka-laced oranges to CB whilst CB was in Faro prison during 2006. None of those associates fit the witness descriptions based on a combination of both build & hairstyle/colour imo. Unfortunately we haven't seen the gait of the males for comparison.
But didn't CP fall out with CB?
He remains Facebook friends with Holger Wahnsinn. I think this profile was for his Hannover/Braunschweig friends which is quite recent.
I cannot see CP in the Facebook list of firends of Holger Wahnsinn ...
I once worked as a producer in the BBC crime unit. I directed many reconstructions and spent my second pregnancy producing new investigations for Crimewatch. Detectives would call me daily, detailing their cases, and some stories stay with me still, such as the ones about a girl being snatched from her bath, or her bike, or her garden and then held in the passenger seat, or stuffed in the boot. There was always a vehicle, and the first few hours were crucial to the outcome. Afterwards, they would be dumped naked in an alley, or at a petrol station with a £10 note to "get a cab back to Mummy". They would be found within an hour or two. Sometimes.
Thats a toughie, I think if he did it then he acted alone, all his previous sexual exploits have been on his own, can't see why he would change for this .Then I suppose you get into the why's and wherefores not something I'd comment on personally.
Can anyone confirm that CP is now AW?

Bridget O'Donnell on her time with Madeleine McCann in Portugal
It was a welcome spring break, a chance to relax at a child-friendly resort in Portugal. Soon Bridget O'Donnell and her partner were making friends with another holidaying family while their three-year-old daughters played together. But then Madeleine McCann went missing and everyone was sucked...www.theguardian.com
MM crossed the carpark every day of her stay. The dogs did not go any further than the entrance where both teams lost the scent they had been following. The implication being they were not following MM's daily route.
My opinion. It is possible the trail the dogs followed led to a car parked in the carpark at the spot where the dogs lost the scent.
I think that’s a real possibility. As far as I know he’s been called by the BKA. My opinion.
