The photofit of the child being carried shows the child being carried across the arms of the man, whose statement led to that depiction I wonder?

The photofit is Tannerman, not Smithman.

Another weakness with the Smith identification is that none of the Smith family recognised GMc when he appeared on their screens the following morning.

That is Jane Tanner’s (Tannerman) sighting. She was on holiday with the McCanns. This sighting has lots of issues and contrary to how memory works, her description became more precise as more time passed - Portuguese Police dismissed this sighting, I don’t think anyone has changed their mind on it.

In my opinion, the Smith sighting (Smithman) was very likely MM but even MS doesn’t think it was CB carrying her.

Madeleine McCann police quiz Brit barmaid in Portugal over German ex-boyfriend

Madeleine McCann suspect 'told pal he'd snatched her while watching TV in a pub'

Maddie witness DOESN’T recognise Christian B as mystery man carrying her

This article will help you in understanding who CH & Mr J are. I am in agreement that we have no confirmation other than mainstream media reports that the pub confession with CBs friend actually took place( we here at WS are only allowed to quote & speculate on LE statements or MSM ) that’s why I said IF we are to assume that CB admitted snatching MM...then why wouldn’t MS recognise him? MS has said he doesn’t recognise CB as the man he believes he saw carrying MM.
It is my opinion that too many witness statements seemed to be trying to implicate the McCanns but this is just moo. Sorry if I’m not explaining this best.
Adding MSM also reports that coworkers of CB heard his confession:
‘The convicted paedo’s cold outburst in 2014 appalled co-workers at the kiosk-bar he ran just yards from a school.’
Maddie suspect once shouted 'the child is dead... pigs eat human flesh'

According to this article LJ used to work for CB (kiosk),so there was only one outburst about MM at a bar?

I’m not certain but I think this is only a weakness if it was GM carrying the child.

In the first statements on first taken 26 May 2007 the descriptions of the man are generic - 180cm, 25-40 in age, light brown hair.

MS only became 60% certain it was GM four-and-a-half months later based on the way (Same way as anyone would carry a child) he carried Sean off the plane. IMO, this second sighting is unreliable, if nothing else, the McCanns had been declared suspects as this point.

The original statements IMO are important.

Agreed.

It’s difficult to know if the Smithman sighting is relevant. PJ should have asked parents carrying kids home from crèche to come forward & interviewed apartment residents down that route.

It’s an impossible task to do an efit for someone you see in passing in the dark without specs (as MS). Height & clothing style may be more accurate. MS & family described him as 5’7”-5’9” brown hair, black jacket, beige cotton pants. I think CB would have been described as 6’, slim build, fair hair.

Didn't that person come forward. Wasn't it a fellow tourist collecting his child from the Ocean Clubs night creche?

I don't think anyone has come forward for Smithman

I think your correct, and Mr Smith had had a few drinks and didn't have his glasses on

Brexit and the consequences in case of MM / CB

This is unbelievable: Yesterday at noon, the ECJ already published the
"OPINION OF THE ADVOCATE GENERAL
MICHAL BOBEK
of 6 August 2020" online.

The website of the ECJ offers (top left) the possibility to choose among many European languages, namely those of the EU member states. All translations are available, but not those into English. What are the poor Irish doing? They want to read this too.

That is very strange.
OMG. how f***ing childish?

.... the ground-floor apartment burgled in Feb 2007 is pointed out at beginning of this video "Two months and a half before the abduction, there was a burglary there"

and it also said all those burglaries in the same block began with the window being opened from the outside.

I'm confused at the comparison and so called "similarity" in the sightings and how GM came off the plane. GM carried the child upright off the plane, while the sightings in PdL were of a child being carried across the arms. IMO

I think(?) those are two different alleged sightings. The 'across the arms' was the Jane Tanner one. I don't think the Smith one was said to be holding the child in that way, hence the Smith description of how GM carrying the child off the plane triggered his memory ie. upright, across his shoulder, as one would normally carry a sleepy/sleeping child.

(PS. haven't read full thread so maybe this has been pointed out already.)

ETA. I see now it has!

Here is decision from Second Instance Court of Évora on CB's European warrant as requested by Staatsanwaltschaft Flensburg. The request was made on August 22, 2019 and so it was of course unanswered by August 31, 2019 when CB should be released. Decision is dated January 21, 2020.

Acórdão do Tribunal da Relação de Évora

Excuse me, Dlk79, what do you mean by HB case?

Oh, yes, Ireland was on the CB side. It showed up at the first trial a few weeks ago. That's why people in Germany were so sceptical about the ECJ ruling.

But I didn't want to talk about it so much, in order not to appear nationalistic or to give the impression that I was discrediting Ireland. It is their right to do so.
Hmmmm Im Irish and this does not shock me sadly ! :mad::mad::mad:

I’m entitled to dual nationality where I’m from... Might give up my Irish passport for a Brit one after this... :rolleyes:
Lol snap, but are you really surprised they took this stand ?

Not especially, with the Bailey case etc. We’re also notorious for backing the underdog. But feck me, what a case to pick to prove a point :rolleyes: lol
Where ye hailing from, Snowpea?:D (Seeing as we have 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 all else to talk about lol)

Yes, they were interrogated & ruled out, I believe. RR worked in OC (kitchen?), JdS a OC driver, PR a telephone contact of RR. UK police were interested in calls between them on the night of 3/5/07.
