Re: MADDIE TENNIS TWIST Gerry McCann played tennis with ‘Tannerman’ on the day Madeleine went missing

by Marco 15.05.18 21:21

It may be that there's "noooo eveeedence" that Madeleine died as Mr McCann has so often purported, but where is the evidence that she was abducted? They only had Tanner's story to hold this up. If this doesn't work, the opportunity for an abductor is infinitesimally small. Rich Hall was right in mistrusting Grange, as is Tony Bennett in homing in on this one. It doesnt prove anything but it completely demolishes the ONLY plausible story the McCann's were able to come up with. This surely is good news for us truth seekers staring us in the face?

It'll be funny if he comes forward as Smithman, having also kept his clothes and the child's pyjamas all this time
Whenever I hear the words "Porton Down" it sends shivers down my spine. Is the above Paul Weinberger the same person, who it is claimed, was a director of a company called Diasolve Ltd at 7-7c Snuff Street, Devizes, Wiltshire?

Yes, that's him I believe.
Imo, we should look into more in detail what professions the OC guests had.
We have medicals from Porton Down and a bunch of Doctors/medical experts and there's also people from the pharma company Pfizer on the guest list.
Have a strong feeling that this was not a co-incidence.

by sallypelt 15.05.18 22:08

I can vaguely remember Paul J Weinberger being mentioned on this forum a while back. I found this bit of information about him, interesting. I don't know how accurate it is, but I will post it as a reminder what has been said about his past employment:

Paul Weinberger is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Diasolve Ltd, which makes a variety of medical devices. Both he and his wife are its sole Directors: https://companycheck.co.uk/…/DIASOLVE…/directors-secretaries
Even more significant, he is a standing member of NICE - the National Institute for Clinical Excellence - and sits on their Diagnostics Advisory Committee. And he was former Chairman of BIVDA - the ‘British In Vitro Diagnostics Association’, and is still on its committee.

I'm not really up to speed with the said 'Textusa' theories Verdi. I get your drift though. I don't see a problem with people choosing to engage in such activities in their private lives.

Yes, it has been discussed over the years and I believe a further discussion and research is needed because this is the only confirmed red line we have and we knows what people and resources they sent down to pdl immidiately and it was not because of some swinging party.

Precisely

There needs an explanation. Either he's been a troglodyte for 11 years, he's a gullible patsy in danger of perverting the course of justice or for some bizarre reason - blind friendship or job - he's agreed to put his face in the frame.

I wouldn't have been in the interest of the ~~prime suspects~~ McCanns if Totman had claimed to have been Tannerman. Jane's sighting was the only evidence that they had to back up their abduction tale.

I doubt that Totman would have told the police in May 2007 but if he did, the UK police wouldn't have upset the McCanns by killing off all the evidence of their abduction claims. The Portuguese Police saw through Jane Tanner and never took her statement seriously anyway, so why would they need an explanation of something that the know did not happen in the first place?

Totman is a plant - not of the decorative variety I hasten to add.

The team of 'sources close to the family and/or close to the investigation' have been drip feeding the public with little tasty morsels to maintain the interest for eleven years.

Why else would they stock-up with a bastion of PR pundits and a UK government media manipulator, if not to feed the public via the media?

It's a big game and it works everytime. I can just picture them chuckling over their cornflakes every morning when they scour social media. Big gun PR pundits know exactly how to hit the spot - they concentrate their energies on the tabloids knowing full well the type of reader, it speaks for itself.

by Marco 16.05.18 23:03

Verdi, agreed, but this guy blows the abduction theory out of the water. So if this is just a PR stunt I don't see how it helps them. If he told the police in May 07, then there will be a record, maybe Tony Bennett's foi will clarify.

No more than DCI Andy Redwood's revelation moment back in October 2013, when an unnamed person came forward to say he thinks he might have been the person Jane Tanner allegedly saw on the night of 3rd May 2007.

The emphasis then shifted to the publicised efits, drawn up between the McCanns private detectives Oakley International and the Irish witness Martin Smith - still at large I believe.

I doubt this person did report himself (that's what it amounts to) to either the PJ or the UK police, anymore than the many other 'sightings' planted by the McCanns machine. It's just a game to fool the public - it works every time.

G4M

by skyrocket 17.05.18 8:44

G4M - Totman (next to block 5)
G4L - Weinburger
G4O - O'Donnell/Wilkins

Don't forget that Redwood clearly states that Tannerman/Crecheman/Totman had just PICKED UP his daughter from the night creche so he was literally walking in the opposite direction that he should have been back to block 4. There's no case what-so-ever for: 'I walked the long way round;' or 'I turned down the wrong street in the dark.' To be walking the way he was, Totman had just passed (or been in) block 5 and had just passed (or been in) block 4 (where he was staying).

Dr Totman - why not send us an email just to explain why you were walking away from block 4 at around 9.15pm on Thurs 3 May. If we did not know better it could be argued that you are now the prime suspect as the abductor of a 3 year old child. Robert Murat was made arguido despite strong denials he was anywhere near 5A that night. You've admitted to the world that not only were you near the 'abduction' scene but you were carrying a small girl (you say your daughter) - just in the same time frame that a small girl was reportedly taken. Surely that warrants a full and clear explanation.

Also, if Totman did cross the top of the T-junction carrying his daughter, surely he stopped for a second or 2 before crossing to check for traffic coming up in the same direction as Jane? Didn't he see Jane or Gerry or Jes Wilkins? He knew them all from tennis. Has he been asked? Even if he didn't recognise them he MUST have seen 3 figures - unless of course he walked straight out into the road without looking; or, Jane and/or Gerry and/or Jes weren't there; or, he wasn't there himself. Take your pick.

It can only be (IMO):

- threats to self or family;
- financial reward;
- belief that a higher good is being served.

Everyone embroiled in this case must be supremely confident that nothing is going to happen to them for being economical with the truth and they must all have reason for it.

by Mark Willis 17.05.18 9:01

Has Totman said if he was Crechedad or not?
Not that it really matters (in one sense) given Tanner saw no one, apart from maybe Gerry and Jez.
Come to think of it, no one saw any child-toting "suspect" that night, did they? That includes The Smiths.
I'm more inclined to go with those who reckoned they saw Murat hanging around near the Ocean Club that night.

by skyrocket 17.05.18 9:34

@Mark Willis - let's hope that Tony's FOIA clears up who is being stated as who in the zoo. 'They' will have to be careful what they say or they are going to end up with 3 or 4 different men all walking around carrying young blonde girls in pyjamas. That's the problem with porky pies - keeping it simple (and believable).

The PJ did not believe Tannerman was an abductor
Redwood did not believe Tannerman was an abductor, and morphed him into Crecheman
Wall does not believe Tannerman / Crecheman was an abductor, and has allowed him to reveal himself as Totman

No one believes Smithman was an abductor

No, but several people still maintain that Smithman was Gerry McCann, either carrying Madeleine's body, or, even more bizarrely, another young child, possibly a child of one of the Tapas 7.

I think Totman will have been questioned, and ruled out, by the Portuguese police early in the investigation. After all, there must be a record of the time he collected his daughter from the night creche on 3 rd May.

The Portuguese are still holding several statements that they haven't released to the public though.

by Marco 18.05.18 0:07

Thanks Suzy I didn't know that there were files not released, I wondered if there were any night creche files etc.
Maybe now that the msm is behind the McCann's (thro fear or favour) it gives them from Matthew oldfields "check" to Kate's visit a longer abduction window that they calculate helps them overall.
Incidentally, speaking of Matthew my hunch is that he was asked to go and check "the kids" and screwed up the plan by not reporting anything wrong (as he didn't see maddies bet empty. My gut tells me nobody knew of any problems in the T7 other than Kate saying that the kids were unsettled the night before. K & G wanted to be together at the table when somebody else raised the alert. Distancing behaviour. Just a thought! Sorry I meant Gerry check...

The poster didn't say 'there were files not released', the poster said 'the Portuguese are still holding several statements that they haven't released to the public though'.

That aside, I believe too much emphasis is put on documents missing from the PJ files released into the public domain - it's almost as though if the files don't reveal what the reader wishes, then they conclude the documents were held back for a sinister reason. Not so, there are any number of reasons why particular information is not released for public consumption in any criminal investigation, even in the UK, which doesn't follow the Portuguese judicial secrecy policy.

As regards witness statements specifically, it should be remembered that many interviews were informal and not recorded, therefore they wouldn't be in the PJ files. In addition, when you consider just how many holiday makers, Ocean Club complex staff, local residents etc. would have been interviewed informally revealing little or nothing to further the investigation again, these wouldn't be included in the investigation documentation.

Yes...it's all getting very convoluted, isn't it? When you try to manufacture "evidence" I feel you're on a hiding to nothing. This case must be an all time winner in that respect. False alibis, created scenarios etc.
Keep it simple? Always. Trouble is the simplest is the truth - and we're have never had that from the Tapas 9 nor are we liable to get any.
