Video of Jane Tanner (I can't see it on my Mac and frankly, I could care less....)
Too bad you can't see it. Jane actually comes across as quite believable and likable in this video. It's the first seed of doubt I've had in a long time
They should have had her helping speak to the media since the beginning. She's way better than any of the others spokesmen the McCann's have hired!
As much as she has been portrayed badly in the press, she comes across to me as just another woman you might be friendly with, very normal, worried and willing to help in any way possible.
One of the things that the investigator on 48 hours based his conclusion that Maddie was abducted on was the fact that according to the staff at the tapas bar Kate and Gerry were acting normaly that night. I think this information is useless. How in the world would the staff of the tapas bar know what is or is not normal for kate and Gerry. Kate and Gerry have both demonstrated numerous times they are very capable of showing no emotion when interviewed or photographed. The staff of the Tapas bar do not know these people. are not specialists in analyzing human behavior and have no basis to make that conlcusion. Yet, this investigator adamently stated it would have been impossible for them to be behaving normally if they were involved with Maddie's dissapaearance and therefore could not be involved. If this is the best evidence he came up with I think it is pretty poor info to base any conclusions on. Jane Tanners eye witness information is also unfortunitly very weak evidence. First, she came up with her memory of seeing this after she became aware Maddie was missing and second no one can substantiate it. Human memory is pretty poor and contaminate it by leading information, such as a child is missing and IMO it can not be considered reliable when not able to substantiate it. What does give her memory a little believability is no one has come forward to say that was me carrying my child. However, that is in no way reason to conclude what she thinks she saw happened. So I think the evidence Maddie was abducted presented on this show was weak and therefore, remain firmly on the fence.

If I remember to watch, get the TV on something other than hockey or the kids go to bed with no problem I'll try to do a write up.

As far as Kate and her husband not crying all over the place in public, they were TOLD by Portugese Police not to, that it would somehow excite the kidnapper....this was brought up during 48 HRS show.
Exacty, Susan Smith DID kill her children. Regardless of her public outpour of emotion...she did kill her children, for a man, nonetheless. Which proves, women can and do murder their children for stupid reasons. The McCanns didn't cry, so they wouldn't upset the kidnapper who they are now reporting they know who she is, where shes at and are about to find...LOL (I'm sure that will not excite the kidnapper...she won't be paniced, or scared, or fearing for her life no? She'll just sit and wait for them to come.) Thank you for the reminder.And they also showed a video of Susan Smith, remember her crying and sobbing and as it turned out, she was GUILTY.
The only thing the show raised questions about is WHY oh why did they leave the door unlocked? Even if I didn have small children I would still lock my door if I was in a foreign country, Id worry about my things being stolen.
And, I appreciated his take on the McCanns that night. I can see his point that they had probably been lulled into a false sense of security by the previous five nights of leaving the children and eating out. If everything had gone well for five nights, they may have gotten pretty lax about their checking routine
