The McCanns, you mean? To be publicly accused of killing their daughter with an overdose of calpol, hiding their dead daughter's body, fabricating abduction and launching a fraudulent fund in their dead daughter's name?
Parts of?!
It’s a good observation!
Odd that GM's tennis partner Dr Julian Totman came forward and said that it was he who was carrying the child and that this was dismissed by LE and it took years for Scotland Yard to follow up on this information.
And leaves other stories open IMO.
Except he was walking in the wrong direction.Odd that Dr Julian Totman came forward and said that it was he who was carrying the child and that this was dismissed by LE and it took years for Scotland Yard to follow up on this information.
"Julian Totman's wife Rachel, who lives with her husband in the West Country, has revealed that police had never contacted them.
She told The Sun: 'My husband had told the local police it could be him but we didn't hear anything for years.
'We always thought it was Julian who was seen by Jane Tanner. But the national police who investigated didn't get back to us and we don't know if our information was ever passed on.'"
Madeleine McCann police spent years trying to ID man GP said was him
Julian Totman was carrying his daughter back from a creche when he was seen by one of the so-called 'Tapas Seven' dining with Kate and Gerry McCann in Praia da Luz on May 3, 2007.www.dailymail.co.uk
This has always niggled me.
That didn't bother DCI Redwood did it. I think he only mentioned it at all because he pretty much had nothing else to say and Op Grange had been lumbered with a lot of live Crimewatch minutes to fill.
Two reasons why the PJ may have "buried" Dr Totman's belief he was Tannerman in May 2007:-Odd that GM's tennis partner Dr Julian Totman came forward and said that it was he who was carrying the child and that this was dismissed by LE and it took years for Scotland Yard to follow up on this information.

iirc it was the McCanns, or their family and spokesperson (JM) who leaked that to the media. That was when the media speculation exploded. But all they cared about at that moment was getting home?
I have heard the same possible explanation from another poster elsewhere who claimed to have heard it from " a source within the PJ". However, in his 2022 book Basta de Mentiras, Amaral questioned many aspects of SY's "revelation moment" and the direction of Dr Totman's travel and unusually seemed to know little about such an explanation. As a parent, if I was carrying a young child dressed in just her pyjamas and only half-covered by a small blanket, I'm not sure I'd have started making my way back towards the Mill restaurant on a chilly night when I could have just waited in the sheltered stairwell of Block 4.Why did Madeleine McCann cops waste years investigating GP sighting?
COPS spent four years trying to identify a man seen carrying a child on the night Madeleine McCann disappeared — despite a GP saying it was probably him. Julian Totman walked near the McCanns’ apar…www.thesun.co.uk
The above article seems to indicate it was initially Portuguese police the Totman’s reported to about J.Tot possibly being Tannerman .
There was a discussion back in Thread 21 about “ direction “ of Tannerman.
Post 1440 from @redplanet said this…
“I am upping this by @tedtink because IMO it may possibly fully and elegantly solve the problem of direction.
"Perhaps the T's were dining at the Millenium with oldest child and friends - Dr T left minutes earlier to pick up daughter from the night creche, walked back to apartment, realising he had no key, walked back towards the restaurant to meet his wife who may have got delayed for some reason".”
I do not recall if Smith sighting was really buried or dismissed at that time or later.
JT told the Portuguese police of his beliefs in May 2007 (the family stayed on for an extra week).
CB is in jail on drug related charges, he's also serving time for rape, this crime was alleged to have been captured on tape and seen by at least two individuals who it seems either lost or destroyed said tape. He's also indicted on three other rapes also it seems captured on tape which no longer exist's, he is also indicted on two accounts of indecency, placing his penis in the hands of at least one of the children, can this really be a master criminal who can pull off the possibly most famously known but as yet unexplained disappearance and murder of a child in Portugal in 2007, seriously ?
I agree with the idea that CB isn’t the shiniest tool in the shed but the DM rape for which he was convicted was not the video viewed by HB and MS. They viewed the videos of two of the rapes he has currently been charged with. I am unaware of wether the HB or DM videos have ever been recovered or have been viewed by anyone.
