McCanns, PACT, Jim Gamble, Kevin Halligen, Adrian Oldfield and DCI Redwood’s 2 efits: Are all these just coincidences?

1. Lady Catherine Meyer founded PACT in 1999/2000
   
   
2. She immediately associated PACT with the controversial ‘Missing Persons’ organisation set up by Ernie Allen, the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC). The main beneficiary of PACT is Lady Meyer herself (6)
   
   
3. Adrian Oldfield, a senior IT specialist at Ernst and Young LLP becomes a PACT Trustee in 2001, soon after PACT was formed. He is a current board member of PACT since 2003. For years he worked very closely with ACPO developing the police’s internet platforms on missing children (1), (3)
   
   
4. During the period 1998, Kevin Halligen also worked for Ernst and Young (2)
   
   
5. When Madeleine McCann was reported missing on 3 May 2007, Lady Meyer’s husband Sir Christopher Meyer was the Chairman of the Press Complaints Commission
   
   
6. Shortly afterwards, Sir Christopher Meyer spoke to Gerry McCann about media coverage of Madeleine’s disappearance, and Kate McCann was entertained at her home by Lady Meyer, Chairman of PACT
   
   
7. Gerry McCann visited the U.S. in June 2007 and had a long meeting with Ernie Allen
   
   
8. From 2007 onwards, Jim Gamble of CEOP had close links to the McCanns and they co-operated with each other on a number of projects – see ‘Joined at the Hip’ article on this forum (4)
   
   
9. In 2008 the McCanns joined with PACT and Missing People to urge the Home Office to improve missing child statistics and record-keeping
   
   
10. DCI Redwood’s two efits were apparently drawn up by Oakley International/Kevin Halligen/Henri Exton, under the supervision of Brian Kennedy, who appointed Oakley in March 2008
    
    
11. Jim Gamble joined PACT in 2011
    
    
12. There is a striking similarity between Adrian Oldfield and one of the Redwood ‘Smithman’ efits (3)
    
    
13. Adrian Oldfield has been traced to an address in the GU (Guildford) postcode area. Kevin Halligen’s habitual address was also in the GU postcode area and it is believed he is now residing there again. Before and after Halligen’s imprisonment, therefore, both men lived/live within a few miles of each other near the Surrey/Hampshire border.  
    
    
14. Both Adrian Oldfield and Kevin Halligen have military connections (5)

Yes. Very possibly.

Was he in PdL,

No, I'm sure he wasn't

or is he being 'framed'.

No, not that, either. My provisional hypothesis is that the Oakley International/Halligen/Exton team just got hold of any old e-fit - made it up themselves, maybe from one of their contacts. That applies to the two efits. I think the other efit has a similar origin. I will write more about the second efit - and who that might be based on - if and when I am able to develop this hypothesis further. I should add for clarification that I suggest that neither efit is based on the Smith 'sightings', but IMO they are being passed off as such

Well someone had to take Madeleine out of the apartment at some point, albeit probably deceased, so I still think that there is every possibility that Smithman was Gerry, who was caught in the act of removing Madeleine

That's one of my more "solid" theories too.

I can see how Smith man may  well have never  existed a bit easier  now  and the McCann's knew he didn't ,and the reason why it was not mentioned for all those years, after all there was no explanation by them as to why they kept that back , a very clever plan if that is how they played it. For all we know the time line of Madelines disappearance could be totally different to what they have us believe.

But ultimately, I believe the Smiths and I think that they saw Gerry, scuttling off with a deceased Madeleine, in a desperate attempt to hide her body before raising the alarm. I also think it did all happen that night, and it was a rush job, because lets face it, the timelines were a disaster and none of the tapas lot could get their stories straight, whereas if they'd had more time, it would have gone far more smoothly...no ripping up sticker books to write out timelines etc, it would all have been seamless if they'd had more time imo

Yes, Ladyinred, this is where the evidence leads me.

Tannerman - fairly obviously an invention by Jane Tanner.

Smithman - less obviously an invention, but so many indications that all is not right with the Smiths' claim.

Crecheman - hate to say it, but a cunning invention by DCI Redwood.

Basically, single men carrying a child around PdL late evening, dark, cold, only in pink/white pyjamas, no buggy, no coat or blanket for the child - most unlikely.

Was there an abductor?

OK, suppose there was.

Then I suggest:

It wasn't Tannerman, it wasn't Crecheman, it wasn't Smithman.

Those who look for an abductor will have to look somewhere else. He simply hasn't been seen by anyone.

Perhaps it was JW bumping into G who ruined their timings.

REPLY: So you seriously suggest:

1. A Doctor would risk everything by carrying his recently-deceased daughter through the streets of Praia da Luz all the way from Apt. G5A, down to the rue de Abril 25, and on to the beach or wherever, and

2. That he was only seen by the Smiths, and

3. That Gerry took the body - where exactly?, and

4. That the Smith were so unimpressed by this sighting that they didn't even think once for reporting it until the day after their friend Robert Murat was arrested, and

5. That the rest of the Tapas group were daft enough to raise the alarm at the very moment when Gerry was walking around PdL with his daughter's body.


Without the Smiths' claimed sighting, what else, if anything supports your theory?

Because there's a lot that contradicts it

Markus 2 wrote:I wouldn't want to change your view on this kevmack but I was sure that Smith man sighting was Gerry, but ?

Why has no one issued any statements as to why this e-fit was left for five years? Now we are all  automatically thinking that the McCann's were keeping this evidence back for their benefit but it could turn out that if it was a whitewash e-fit  and  if the McCann's knew  maybe they  weren't happy to let it out back then. I think knowing why this e-fit was suppressed is the key but they wont tell us will they.

...I do believe the [Smiths] saw Gerry that night, and whilst the McCanns frantically tried to morph tannerman into smithman, they ignored so many of the anomalies between smithman and tannerman, knowing full well people wouldn't really notice.  You can guarantee that the police have noticed though

...but your constant accusations about the Smiths not contacting the police immediately...The Smiths at that point had no reason to believe Gerry was anything other than a father taking his sleeping child home...
