Who is 'Smith-man'? (MULTIPLE CHOICE - You can vote for more than one answer)
Re: Where could "Smith-man" have been heading? (OR: Was there ever a "Smith-man"?)
Thanks for the reply my question should have been why is he doing all this?Tony Bennett wrote:Welcome.Hongkong Phooey wrote:First time poster on this forum however I have done on many others (so go easy!!)
Has anybody worked out the Brian Kennedy connection, is he just a publicity seeker or is there more to it?
If you search the forum using the words 'Brian', 'Kennedy', you will find plenty about him here.
I provided a very quick summary of his involvement in the case on another thread a week or so ago, here it is:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I think a look at Brian Kenedy's actions tell us a lot. He...
* bought a house in Knutsford from which to run the McCann Team's investigation
* chose Metodo 3 - a highly controversial detective agency with a track record in telephone tapping and money-laundering but not in finding missing children
* personally appointed money-laundering expert Gary Hagland to work for him, to laise with Metodo 3, and plan the McCann's Moroccan campaign (search 'Hagland' on this forum)
* falied to sack Metodo 3 after its boss Francisco Marco infamously boasted of being hot on the heels of 'the kidnappers' and said that 'Maddie will be home by Christmas'
* worked closely with Metodo 3 investigator Antonio Giminez Raso - who spent 4 years in jail on suspicion of helping a 27-strong vicious drugs gang - and Julian Peribanez. who has just admitted the serious criminal offence of illegally taping the conversations of leading Spanish politicians
* according to Mark Hollingsworth in theEvening Standard, intimidated - with the help of the men he employed - material witnesses in the case who were then too frightened to give evidence
* took his in-house lawyer, Freemason and Past Lodge Grandmaster Edward Smethurst, to a secret meeting with Robert Murat and his lawyer at the home of Murat's uncle, on 13 November
* on the same visit to Portugal was present with Antonio Giminez Raso and Francisco Marco of Metodo 3 when they gave 3 'very credible' possible sightings of Madeleine to the PJ in Portugal - none of which led to anything
* appointed Kevin Halligen, a serial con-man, to 'search for Madeleine'
* failed to supervise Halligen's contract, resulting in Halligen netting £500,000 plus expenses from Madeleine's fund (money raised by a generous public), when most of the time he was running up massive hotel bills in the UK, Italy and the U.S. with his girlfriend Shirin Trachiotis
* appointed Dave ('Jane Tanner might have seen a woman') Edgar and long-retired constable and pigeon fancier from over 1,000 feet up on Halkyn Mountain in north Wales, Arthur Cowley, to replace Halligen, and
* got his friend to register the never-used domain name alphaig.co.uk in order to promote the Alphaig deception (search 'Alphaig' on this forum) and
Last but not least, and of particular relevance to this thread...
* contacted Martin Smith, sent his private investigators over to Ireland to chat to him about his sightings, got his private investigators to draw up e-fits of the man Smith and his family claimed to have seen, and then sat on them for 5 years, until the combined forces of the Prime Minister, News International, the BBC and the
Metropolitan Polcie were ready on 14 October 2013 to tell us to start looking for him.

Well we know of at least one couple who used this facility JW and BOD....Tony Bennett wrote:Thank you very much, candyfloss.candyfloss wrote:Tony in answer to your question re the crèche opening times. It was called 'dining out club' and was open until 11.30pm.The editor of This is Money wrote this and he stayed there the week before...
Staff told us that the service had been discontinued because the apartments were too spread out. The resort, however, offered a baby-sitting service for 15 euros (£10) an hour, which was staffed by a member of the daytime nursery teams, or a ‘dining out club’. This involved parents dropping off children at the crèche where they would be supervised watching videos until they went to sleep. Parents would then return before 11.30 to scoop up their sleepy offspring
https://jillhavern.forumotion.net/t4612-my-experience-of-maddie-s-resort-in-praia-de-luz-the-algarve
I wonder how many parents would actually use this facility - and did so in practice?
If you were 'dining out', then even just a 2-hour meal would cost you an extra 30 euros (£25).
And your children would be 'sleepy' or even 'asleep' when you collected them.
How many parents would actually want to collect a sleepy or sleeping child at 10.00pm, 10.30pm, 11.00pm or even 11.30pm?
We are told by the Smith family that this child was young, maybe 2, 3 or 4 years of age.
So, if children that age were being left there, where would they sleep? On the floor? On a chair or couch? In a bed or cot? Were there beds and cots there?
ALSO - if it is being seriously suggested that Smithman could have been on his way back from a creche or a 'dining club', where is his companion?
Wife, partner, older children, friends?
No-one.
Just a bloke aged 20-40 carrying a child on his own, some way from a creche, and witrh no buggy or pushchair.
I am having some difficulty in swallowing that one.
My phone rang as our food arrived; our baby had woken up. I walked the round trip to collect him from the kiddie club, then back to the restaurant. He kept crying and eventually we left our meal unfinished and walked back again to the club to fetch our sleeping daughter. Jes carried her home in a blanket. The next night we stayed in. It was Thursday, May 3.

I can only think that Martin Smith did not know Murat's connection with Team McCann.

The very next night, he was taking aroud his baby in a pram/pushchair:
EXTRACTS FROM WILKINS STATEMENT
We returned to our apartment. We decided to spend the evening-in, watching television. Our son was awake and unable to sleep. I decided to take him for a walk in his pram. I left about 8.15 pm – 8.30 pm. I was pushing the pram around the complex and went to the toilet near the bar. I couldn't see inside the restaurant. As I got the baby to sleep, I was on my way back to the apartment. I came out of the top road. I met him near some stairs and a ground floor flat.
There was a gate leading up to some stairs. I was pretty certain that he had left the apartment. We spoke for a few minutes. He said 'you're on walking duty'. I said I was staying in and the pro's and con's and what to do with the children. He said that if he was staying two (2) weeks, he may stay in one night. I don't remember anyone else walk past with a child. The conversation lasted for about three (3) to five (5) minutes. He was acting completely normal from what I know of him so far.

Because if it can be shown, without a shadow of a doubt, that GM was in the Ocean Club complex at the Smith's saw Smithman, then it couldn't have been Gerry. So, it looks something like this. Jane Tanner puts RM in the frame, Smith gets RM off the hook.

Earlier up the thread, Cheshire Cat came up with this suggestion:Estelle wrote:logical wrote:Mr Amaral concluded Mr Smith was a creditable witness and thats good enough for me .

I can only think that Martin Smith did not know Murat's connection with Team McCann.
"Thank you Tony. What I mean is what could be the motivation for Smith to point the finger at Gerry? To take the heat off Murat, but why say Gerry McCann? To get even because Murat (their buddy) had been dropped in it by Tanner etc?"
I think Cheshire Cat may have a point.
If Murat and Martin Smith were friends (and he has apparently admitted to having met Murat 'several times'), then how would he feel if he knew that:
Jane Tanner had adamantly identified Murat as the abductor on 13 May...?
Thereby causing his being made an arguido...?
...and that Rachael Oldfield had falsely/mistakenly claimed that he was seen by her 'hanging around the Ocean Club aroud the time Madeleine disaappeared'?
...and that Fiona Payne had falsely/mistakenly claimed that he was seen by her 'hanging around the Ocean Club aroud the time Madeleine disappeared'?
...and that Russell O'Brien had also falsely/mistakenly claimed that he was seen by her 'hanging around the Ocean Club around the time Madeleine disappeared'?
all of this during the two days after he'd been publicly shamed as an 'arguido'?
Remember how all of this changed after the 13 November 2007 meeting when:
Brian Kennedy travelled to Portugal with his in-house Freeemason lawyer Edward Smethurst, a long-time holidaymaker in Praia da Luz since 1999...
to meet...
Robert Murat and his lawyer Francisco Pagarete
and RM's mother, aunt and uncle.
Then the 'Tapas 4' above changed their stories.
They all thought that they might have 'muddled him up' with David Payne or Angus Symington ,who looked 'very similar'.
You would think that at least Fiona Payne would have recognised, er, her own husband!

Re: Where could "Smith-man" have been heading? (OR: Was there ever a "Smith-man"?)
Okay Tony maybe Mr Amaral didnt Interview Mr Smith personally but more than likely was in the interview room observing Mr Smith during his interview.
In an article in mccannfiles Goncarlo Amaral Speaks to IOL PortugalDiario 3rd/4th August 2008 Mr Amaral says "The Smith Testimony IS VERY CREDIBLE it is NOTHING that sounds INVENTED"
Now Tony if Mr Amaral states this and he personally Knows the investigated facts, Who are You and WHY as one that doesnt have first hand information Regarding the Smiths to imply the entire Smith Family including a 12 year old child are liars ?
You have on occasions been far from Factual yourself with Respect.

I certainly think that's a possibility.
I don't understand why he has never sued any of the group for their allegations against him.
Gerry's refusal to answer if he knew RM is also strange. Mind you, if he'd answered no I don't suppose anyone would have believed him!

Well I am guessing they did not have the pram in the restaurant and would have gone straight from the restaurant to the creche when they were phoned.

Do you think if Tony's theory is true, that Martin Smith and Robert Murat could have colluded to say it was Gerry McCann later because Robert Murat had suffered more than he predicted and perhaps they had not paid him the money that they had offered him originally.No Fate Worse Than De'Ath wrote:I certainly think that's a possibility.

No that is why I put IIRC. It was said very early in the piece by a poster so it could have been a rumour. But it appears that Jane Tanner and Robert Murat could have attended the same church in the Exeter area. That was examined a lot once but I doubt if there would be a link to it now.candyfloss wrote:Eh? Never heard that one.......... Where has that come from Estelle?

2. He was made an arguido along with the McCanns. No smoke without fire springs to mind.
3. He was, as a child, a guest at a Healy wedding so must have had connections with them.
4. There is the Exeter connection

The limited advantage I have over Goncalo Amaral - and we all share that advantage on this forum - is that a lot more is known now than on 2 October 2007 when Amaral was removed from the Madeleine investigation - and we have a small army of amateur sleuths testing out each other's ideas.
I have looked at as much information as I can about the 'Smith sighting' and I'm unconvinced. I would hate to think that they have all fabricated this sighting. But for a long time I was sceptical about his claim that just by looking at BBC film of Gerry walking down the aircraft ssteps, he was sure he had seen Gerry McCann.
But only 60% to 80% sure.
What kind of evidence is that?
Especially as four months earlier, he signed a police witness statement saying that he 'woudn't be able to recognise the man again'.

There certainly are connections in the Exeter area with the Murat family and Jane Tanner.
I see that the wedding story is mentioned on the link provided by sallypelt but that of course is no proof. I knew that I had seen it somewhere before.

Very much so. There have been a number of instances of willing 'patsies' volunteering to do 'time' in prison in the UK in place of someone else. That is, they admit to a crime they haven't done.Woofer wrote:Gosh I must be naive - do some people actually offer to be patsies?
Usually, of course, a sum of ££££ is negotioated with the actual criminal for providing this service...
