Guys, I have a theory and couldn't wait to get on here and tell you all....except WS was down in the morning when I tried!
Ok......so....I believe, MOO, the Jane Tanner sighting was a lie. I believe several members of the Tapas group were involved in covering up death of Madeleine, for various reasons. There are many reasons why I believe her "sighting" was a lie, one of them being of course the
timeline written down with Gerry at the table, stating at 9:15 Jane Tanner saw "stranger with a child." (or was it "stranger carrying a child?"). Even though Jane Tanner claims she only told Fiona (or was it Rachel) until the police got there becaues she didn't want to "upset" Kate and Gerry. Also............without any more information, IMO, someone can tell it's a lie just from that sentence on the timeline
"Jane sees STRANGER with a child." No, brilliant doctors, actually if it was real, you would've just written down "sees
a MAN carrying a child." Ohhhh yeahhhh, but of course you were thinking "stranger" b/c yesssss, a stranger took her, not the 9 of you close to her who knew exactly what happened to her. Oh no, you definately couldn't write,
"Dad took her." It had to be the opposite of Dad....oh a "stranger," like you saw in the movies. Oh yes, you're just writing a little movie plot over there.
Anyway, so Jane Tanner sighting = LIE. IMO, MOO. And of course, Pj knew this and SY and any of their detectives investigating the case would have come to that conclusion rather quickly....MOO.
But without confirmation from Jane herself, or any of the other Tapas group, they
could not rule it out 100%. They were stuck. No one was talking.
Then, re-openng of investigation, then Crimewatch, where's AR openly and conclusively shoots down Jane Tanner sighting. But he doesn't say it was a lie, he says there was a man coming back from the creche, oh yeahhhhh,
that's who Jane saw.
And here is something from Jane Tanner's rogatory:

(she is complaining about the public/press not believing her sighting is a real sighting)
No, but the best thing that could happen to me, apart from Madeleine being found, is
somebody coming up and saying That was me, you know, That was me walking
across there, because, you know, you know, I dont want that to be Madeleine, but,
you know, theres no, but Im convinced that was and, you know, people have got to,
so I dont know what I can do to make them believe that. Im sorry.

and.....
I just, yeah, I do, I wish I hadnt. As I say, I wish Id made Russell go at that point.
I really wish I hadnt seen this. But, you know, they have to, and, as I say, apart from
Madeleine being found,
the best thing that could happen to me is somebody coming
and saying No, youre wrong Jane that wasnt them, that was me carrying my child,that is what, you know, I dream of happening, after Madeleine being found, you
know.
She says the best thing for her would be for that man from her sighting to come forward and say, Yes, that was me walking across there.
And did she get what she wanted? Yes. SY invented a man taking his daughter back from the creche to make Jane Tanner happy, so that she could finally be rest assured that people did NOT think she was liar.
So what would make SY able to 100% refute Jane Tanner's sighting, and also make Jane Tanner happy at the same time? Becaues, IMO, Jane Tanner has told SY something about her involvement in the cover-up that night. And about what happened, to what extent she told them, I don't know. SY probably came to her secretly and told her, Jane, we know you lied. Why don't you cooperate with us, and we'll make sure your part of the cover-up isn't revealed? Just help us get Kate and Gerry. We won't tell people you lied or helped them, we'll say there was indeed a man walking by there....no one will know you did anything to help them.
IMO, that is what this new "flurry" is. But of course, Jane's reveal had to be very hush-hush. I believe she is cooperating with Scotland Yard and she has given them information. In return, she gets an "out" from this sordid mess.
The Tapas group dug themselves so deep into a hole, they couldn't get out of it. The McCanns' kept putting them deeper and deeper. THe more the case got publicized, the less chance they had of ever being able to admit what they did. They were on a roller-coaster they couldn't get off of, just kept spinning round and round. THe SY gave Jane (at least) an out. And in return, Jane cooperated.
Now, that's Jane, IMO, I dont kow about the rest of the group.
IMO, MOO, JMO.
