@ Mirage

I hear what you say. I took the circumstances Smiths sightings as the absolute truth and never questioned them at all. It's only recently that I bothered to look at their statements properly and then what they've said in the papers that's left me scratching my head more than usual.

Before going into timing, I'd like to know [because I've never been in Portugal], if maybe the general practice in bars is like in Italy: You go to the cashier, tell them what you want, pay, get a receipt, then proceed to the bar, show your ticket and get your drinks. Anyone know?

hi chatalin cant spell your name sorry , I have been visiting Portugal trice a year for 7 years,last time 3 qweeks ago we got back after 10 days   we have the odd meal out and the odd bar drinks some days . usually if we are sat outside table ,out comes bar staff and asks what you want ,then it comes to table and we might eat a small snack in a little while ,we might have another drink be it coffee tea or wine ,then when we are ready to leave we ask for bill .now adays it will be a till slip maybe ,7 years ago we often were told price and payed it .no receipt .I think itcan possably be just cash in hand especially in countryside ,who could blame them ,so little money to be made on couple drinks . hope this helps . joyce1938

Thank you, Joyce :-)
Yes, cash in hand is a possibility too ...
But IF there's a till receipt, it would be interesting to know, if one pays upfront or when leaving after the drinks.

hI Chatelin,we have usually had to ask for till receipt ,they prefer to leave it so you may want to have another,I cant really recall paying for it upfront at all .If some were kids I cant see them having another drink ,not like adults might,so if a 2nd round was had it would only be about ,well if a small beer 1euroeach maybe be more if spirits .joyce1938

one transaction was at 21:50 and the next at 22:16. So if the Smith's had a receipt for 21:55, whether its the final bill or not it should show up between these two times. So if the PJ witheld this info from the released files then how did they erase the entry from this printout and why? Surely by keeping it in the above printout it would go some way to prove the Smiths were right about their timings.

The till transactions are numbered, so I don't think any have been hidden. There are about four transactions that could have been theirs. It would be quite normal if they paid ten minutes before they departed.

What have the Smiths said in the papers?

The Smiths statements havnt changed from day one apart from the additional statement Martin Smith made in January 2008  that is according to the Maddie Case files as far as I know.

No one here has answered a question I raised earlier i.e if you take time to read the official pj files in Maddies case files regarding all the Smiths statements and take into account the FACT that Goncalo Amaral and Pat Brown have never doubted the Smiths statements then why Cant genuine supportors  for Justice for Madeleine here accept the statements for what they are i.e Real Honest and Genuine statements from independent Honest witnesses.

If posters posts are carefully read on this forum its not too hard to seperate the Genuines from the ungenuines iMo.liar

IMO TB is right, think about it !
The Smith sighting was primarily to state that it wasn't RM they saw.

1)NO there may well have been children being carried in their pyjamas from the Cresh but it wasn't maddie was it ?The TIME of the alleged Smith Sighting & the Till Receipts that don't Tally? - Page 3 172348

2)NO the window wasn't open that night, until the alarm was raised and we all know who opened it ?
Why ?The TIME of the alleged Smith Sighting & the Till Receipts that don't Tally? - Page 3 172348

3)NO there was NOT a man carrying Maddie about in her pyjamas that night, who would want you to think that there may have been ?The TIME of the alleged Smith Sighting & the Till Receipts that don't Tally? - Page 3 172348

Snipped

 When something strikes you and lingers in the mind, it should not be ignored IMO. If, for example, I went to the police and reported a sighting of something suspicious in relation to a known crime, I would expect my statement to be taken in a formal way and sent off to the relevant force. What I would not expect, would be an appraisal of my respected character and standing in the community to accompany that statement. This colours the statement and lends unaccountable weight to someone else's testimony. IMO, that is overstepping the mark.

Well, that's me tuppence worth for now. Thanks again Plebgate. roses
I'm not sure if you are referring to this covering letter that was added to the Statement taken from Mr Smith after he reported how much Gerry McCann reminded him of the man he had seen on the night Madeleine was reported missing.

To me the Sergeant was reporting to his Portuguese colleagues that Mr Smith was being seriously harassed by both the Press and Mr Brian Kennedy and felt obliged to include a character reference and his opinion that Mr Smith was being truthful.

Re – Investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann

I took an additional statement from Mr Smith as requested. His wife does not want to make another statement. I showed him the video clip and he stated that it was not the clip that alerted him but the BBC news at 10 PM on 9th September 2007.

He has been contacted by numerous tabloid press looking for stories. He has been contacted by Mr Brian Kennedy who is supporting the McCann family to take part in a photo fit exercise. He has given no stories or helped in any photo fits. He sent a solicitor's letter to six papers in relation material that was printed that was misquoted. The Evening Herald paid his solicitor's fees and all papers printed an apology. His photograph appeared in another tabloid paper and this matter is being pursued at the moment.

I do not believe that Martin Smith is courting the press and my view his is a genuine person. He is known locally and is a very decent person.

Forwarded please

@Chateleine
The till receipts used to be handed to you on small dish each time you order, then you add them up and leave the cash (Plus big tip The TIME of the alleged Smith Sighting & the Till Receipts that don't Tally? - Page 3 110921) as you are leaving...

Anyhow the Smith sighting was primarily to state that it wasn't RM they saw.

There may well have been children being carried in their pyjamas from the Cresh but it wasn't Maddie was it ?

WHO gains by making people think it might have been ?

In six years there has been NO evidence whatsoever of an abduction, and as a top policeman stated NO clear evidence to say that the parents were not involved in her disappearance.

Grand finale, you cannot state with certainty the sighting was to support Murat - when was that established ?  We cannot see the questions asked of witnesses, so IMO its impossible to be certain how Murat came into the picture.

Smiths saw someone. Newspapers and Brian Kennedy on his case. Each has a reason to be interested in this sighting. Newspapers because it's money. Kennedy because the McCanns need to know. It they're in 'innocent' because they want to follow up any sighting. If they're guilty because they need to know what was seen and how they can use it (even if it they knew it wasn't Gerry).

Imagine this:

Imagine the McCanns are guilty but its not pre-planned but done in a panic night of May 3rd. The first thing they would do is invent the abduction story plus a sighting to get people looking outwards. Over the next few days they harden up that story.

Then a report comes out that the Smiths think they saw someone that night. Lets say you KNOW it wasn't Gerry (because he went some other way carrying a bag). What do you do with this sighting? You send your man in to find out more. 

The you discover that what the Smiths think they saw - far from being the truth - in fact reads like it bears OUT Tanner's invented man more than it contradicts it. What do you do? You try to add the. Together. I kind of agree with Tony - I'm not sure they DID in any serious way cover up this 'sighting'. What they covered up was the idea that all the evidence pointed more at THEM than at anyone else which Oakley's report is alleged to have concluded. 

As Tony says, there is clear evidence that the McCanns in fact DID try to combine these two sightings together. The motive? To bolster up the concept of 'abduction' at the expense of credulity.

On a tangent, in a crime a bag could be used to dispose of all sorts of contaminated items such as cloths, cleaning stuff etc. And once used would be contaminated and have to be disposed of.

Galena - can you give a reference for the dozens (that`s over 24) of people that vouched for his whereabouts and whether they were independent of the T7?
Apologies Woofer - not had time to look over the last day or so. Afraid I can't find the reference to the dozens in the actual PJ report   - I must have picked that up from somewhere else, perhaps a pro-McCann newspaper article.  What  it actually says in the final report with regard to Smith's identification of GM as  Smithman is this

It was established that at the time that was being mentioned, GERALD McCANN was sitting at the table, in the Tapas Restaurant.'

GA seemed to doubt this though but was presumably taken off the case before he could look into it properly.

NUIPC 201-070 GALGS

NOTE

On this date I state for the files that at about 12.12 I had telephone contact with the witness Martin Smith, by means of phone number ********* who referred to the communication he made on 20-09-2007 to the British authorities, that confirms his sighting and showing his full availability to travel to Portugal with the aim of making statements and collaborating with this police in all the diligences that could be considered necessary concerning these events.

Portimao, 27th September 2007

Signed

Inspector Paiva


From paper edition of Daily Mail Jan 2008 quoting the Mr Smith
http://www.mccannfiles.com/id162.html

[color:7c43=000000]"We have not been contacted by the private detective hired by the McCanns, and have had no contact with the investigating police since May 26 last year...."

Well [color:7c43=000000]Inspector Paiva thinks he was speaking to Mr Smith on 27th September 2007. Why did Mr Smith make this claim?
[color:7c43=000000][color:7c43=000000]And by the 30 January 2008 the [color:7c43=000000]Po[color:7c43=000000]rtugeuse police were aware he [color:7c43=000000]had been [color:7c43=000000]contacted by the media and B[color:7c43=000000]rian K[color:7c43=000000]ennedy. Around this time he still believed it was GM he saw he made additional statement to that effect on 30 January 2008. Now he says it wasn't GM he saw. It looks like he was mistaken, just like Jane Tanner. But I dont know why he thought it was definately GM just on the basis of the way he carried a child. Was there something else that Mr Smith has not disclosed that caused him to think it was GM? I think so, but he hasn't said what it was.

EDIT dont know whats up with the formatting.

Keeping things as simple as possible, a scenario (feel free to shoot it down in flames!big grin ):

A male "Tapas" member decides they require a sighting and takes a child at around 10PM and bumps into the Smith family. Later after he gets back he either arranges the Tanner sighting or Tanner announces it to some members (whether invented or not) and he decides to use the Tanner sighting to debunk the Smith sighting.

Like I say.....probably full of holes, but I try.big grin

3)NO there was NOT a man carrying Maddie about in her pyjamas that night, who would want you to think that there may have been ?The TIME of the alleged Smith Sighting & the Till Receipts that don't Tally? - Page 3 172348

Why ?

Think about It !   The TIME of the alleged Smith Sighting & the Till Receipts that don't Tally? - Page 3 1287980906
I find the story of the Smith sighting credible up to this point. (Martin Smith recalls how despite the resort being buzzing with the abduction story he never makes the connection between the small blonde girl who has gone missing and the unfriendly single male carrying a small girl around at 10pm at night).

"We were home two weeks when my son rang up and asked was he dreaming or did we meet a man carrying a child the night Madeleine was taken. We all remembered that we had the same recollection. I felt we should report it to the police"

That sentence sticks out like a sore thumb.  Two things had happened by this time - the Tannerman sighting had been released and Murat was under suspicion. It is absolutely certain in my mind - that this is what prompted the Smiths to finally contact the PJ.  Maybe they did see something (though I suspect in nothing like the detail they described), maybe Smith got a call from Murat complaining that  the Tapas people were trying to set him up and desperately asking for an alibi.

Remember they already had the Tannerman sighting as a template to go on, all that was needed was to change the hair colour from dark to brown. 

Many accept readily that Gerry could persuade Jane to give him an alibi by constructing 'Tannerman'.  Murat by all accounts was a bit of fixer, a guy who knew everybody - the 'Dauphin' of PDL - wouldn't it be likely that he would also be able to find someone to give him an alibi at a time when  he was regarded as a potential paedophile and murderer?

He only came forward after murat was made arguido..Its quite possible that as he hadnt seen the person full on, and didnt think he could identify the person, that he may of thought his sighting of not much worth, hence not coming forward straight away..however he would know it wasnt Murat, he was a person he knew already, he came forward to make sure the police knew that if the person he saw (although unfamilar, and unable to identify) It wasnt Murat, he most definately would of recognised, but the person he saw was a stranger to him. That was his purpose. However he did say a little later that he saw GM and it triggered some kind of recollection..but as he said in his statement that he could not identify the person, its unlikely that could be used as anything useful without backing of other witnesses that collaborate that?

I would appreciate if you could read this thread. I don't think its getting enough attention. It will take about 10 mins to read. Im sorry for jumping in, but where the thread is, I don't think its getting to many views. Thanks all.....I believe its significant.
