"It reminds me of a quote from the FBI:"
"Taken alone, each piece of evidence might be argued, but together, enough pebbles become a block of evidentiary granite."

TANNER SIGHTING
The only perceived evidence of abduction, being the sighting by Jane Tanner at around 21.15 is riddled with inconsistencies and conflicting testimonies, being the fact that
24. None of the scent tracking Search & Rescue dogs followed that trail, and in fact followed another trail completely
25. Jeremy Wilkins (independent witness) failed to spot the ?abductor?, despite being only yards away, while chatting to Gerry
26. Jeremy Wilkins (independent witness) failed to see Jane Tanner walking by, despite being on the same narrow sidewalk at the same time
27. Gerry himself failed to spot the abductor, despite being only yards away, while chatting to Jeremy
28. Gerry contradicted Jeremy by stating that their chat was on the opposite side of the road from that as described, and drawn on a map, by Mr Wilkins
29. Gerry also contradicted Tanner, by stating that his chat with Jeremy was on the opposite side of the road from that mentioned by Jane
30. Jane failed to spot the open window and shutters and blowing curtains coming from Madeleine's bedroom while walking to her apartment at 21.15
31. Jane failed to spot the open window and shutters and blowing curtains coming from Madeleine?s bedroom while walking from her apartment at 21.20
32. Jane never bumped into Jeremy Wilkins (who had walked back to his apartment after the chat with Gerry) while walking back from her apartment at 21.20
33. Russell O'Brien failed to spot the open window and shutters and blowing curtains coming from Madeleine's bedroom while walking to his apartment at 21.30
34. Matthew Oldfield failed to spot the open window and shutters and blowing curtains coming from Madeleine's bedroom while walking to his apartment, which was right next door, at 21.30
35. Matthew failed to spot the open window and shutters and blowing curtains while checking on Madeleine and the twins
36. Matthew failed to spot the open window and shutters and blowing curtains coming from Madeleine's bedroom while walking from his apartment back to the Tapas at around 21.35
37. Jane failed to spot the open window and shutters and blowing curtains coming from Madeleine's bedroom while walking to her apartment at 21.45
38. Russell failed to spot the open window and shutters and blowing curtains coming from Madeleine's bedroom while walking back from his apartment at 21.50
39. Tanner's description has changed several times
40. It makes no sense, especially if (as the McCann's claim) that this was a well planned abduction, that the abductor walks across the very road used by the parents to check on their children
41... The abductor failed to hear either Tanner, Gerry or Wilkins, and continued on the path that would put him in the full vision of all three
42... If the abductor had lifted Madeleine out of the bed, then he would be carrying with her head to his right hand side, not on the left as in Tanner's claimed sighting
SMITH SIGHTING
43. The Smith family (independent witnesses) sighting has, with the exception of one brief mention two years later, been completely ignored by the McCann's and their private detectives from day one (no e-fit / press conference / media onslaught) despite the fact that?
44. There was huge publicity given to the Tanner sighting, including the pressure put on the Portuguese authorities to get the details out there
45. The Smith family descriptions have never changed
46. The sighting was only minutes before the 'alarm' was raised
47. The sighting was only 250 metres from the apartment
48. This sighting would have explained many of the inconsistencies of the Tanner sighting as mentioned above
49. There were several members of the family who witnessed this man carrying a child
50. The general area and timing of the sighting made by the family can be corroborated by a restaurant receipt for that evening
51. The general description of the man could fit Gerry McCann
52. The description of the child matches Madeleine
53. The type of trousers match those possessed by Gerry
54. Trousers match in terms of colour
55. Trousers even match in terms of the visible buttons as mentioned by one of the family
56. Martin and his wife later identified the carrier, through the distinctive carrying style, as being Gerry McCann
Given much of the above, the remarkable coincidence that?
57. The pressure put on the PJ to highlight the Tanner sighting came at exactly the same time as the Smith family were being brought back to Portugal to go over the sighting in more detail
58. The sighting was in a different part of town from the Tanner sighting
59. It was also heading in a completely different direction
60. The carrying style was completely different to that of the Tanner sighting
61. And yet the McCann's deliberately altered the Smith sighting carrying style so as to match that of the Tanner sighting, during the only ever significant mention of the sighting, in a McCann made reconstruction aired only a few days after Amaral's (in which he included the Smith sighting)
62. They also tried to morph the carrier into the same man as seen by Tanner, despite significant differences in descriptions.
BEHAVIOURAL
There are many instances of strange behaviour from the McCann's, not being consistent with parents of a child abducted by paedophiles, including (but not limited to)?
63. Kate complaining about the speed of a police vehicle while being take to look into a new lead at PJ HQ (sighting caught on CCTV)
64. Gerry laughing and joking and sucking lollipops while one of the most significant abduction leads came to a climax
65. Very little mention of the huge award available over the last three years
66. Despite raising millions through their fund, and spending thousands on media monitoring, they continue to charge for travel kits and for printing off posters designed to help find their daughter
67. Lack of physical searching during the first few days
68. Lack of physically handing out leaflets / putting up posters themselves
69. Hiring cowboy private detectives with no expertise or experience in finding children
70. Gerry smirking when asked by a Sky News presenter how he feels when someone comes forward who is certain that they have seen Madeleine
71. When up to 14 possible sightings of Madeleine emerged in Malta, resulting in a huge police operation including Interpol, the McCann's hot footed it to Germany for more TV plugs
72. When the most promising sighting of all was made in Belgium, a 110% certain sighting by a child therapist, considered so credible by authorities that they despatched a forensics team, the McCanns went looking in Huelva, Spain
73. Gerry's initial claim, as overheard by another holidaymaker, within minutes of the alarm being raised, that Madeleine had been taken by paedophiles. How did he know that?
74. Gerry caught on Camera laughing his head off only a few days after his daughter had been abducted by paedophiles as claimed by the parents
75. Despite refuting the claims of the dogs / Scenic findings, the McCann's continued to submit ridiculous reasoning for them, including Sea bass, sweat, dirty nappies, rubbish en-route to dump, rotten meat, and attending to 6 bodies before the holiday, amongst others
76. Kate refusing to answer 48 police questions
77. The McCann's and their holiday friends all refusing to attend a police reconstruction
78. Despite the Madeleine's disappearance looking like an inside job from the outset, the McCann's and their friends were happy enough returning their children to the MW creche just hours later, despite not knowing if any of the staff were involved
79. When Kate raised the alarm, she ran back to the table, leaving the twins in the apartment while not knowing whether the abductor(s) were still onsite
80. Kate shouting They've taken her!?, not distinguishing between Madeleine and her sister Amelie
STATEMENT INCONSISTENCIES
90. When describing Madeleine sleeping that night, Kate said she was under the covers where as Gerry mentioned that his daughter slept without the covers, as was normal
91. Matthew Oldfield initially claimed that Kate and the children were at the tennis courts when he arrived there at 18.30 where as the rest of the Tapas 9 claim otherwise
92. David Payne's 18.30 / 18.40 check on Kate (last person out with the parents to see Madeleine) : According to Kate the sliding door was closed, and that David didn't actually enter the apartment, remaining at the door. But according to David, the door was open and he definitely entered the apartment.
93. Matt Oldfield chivvying up the Payne's at 21.00 : Matt claims he passed them near the top of the road, but David claims to have passed him by the swimming pool, Fiona claims to have passed him outside 5A, and Dianne Webster initially claimed that Matthew wasn't even there.
94. Prior to the PJ arriving at 12:40/12:50 Russell O'Brien has written the timeline for them all, including, Jane tanner sees stranger walking carrying child. He does this while Gerry McCann sits at the same table. However, according to Jane Tanner it's three o' clock in the morning when she informs Gerry McCann for the first time
OTHER
95. Various other possible withheld evidence as hinted at, including intercepted phone calls / text messages
96. Independent witness statement (from McCann neighbour) regarding the luggage door of the McCann's hire vehicle being open morning, noon and night
97. Gerry's missing hold-all / tennis / kit bag which he was seen with the day Madeleine disappeared cannot be located by detectives
98. Gaspar (UK GPs) statements detailing concerns about the father and one of his friends on holiday with them
99. Yvonne Martin (Social Worker) statement regarding concerns about the same friend
100. This same friend calls the Metropolitan Police Crime Specialist Director (a number which is also used as the out of hours contact for the Met's Child Abuse Investigation Team) 24 hours after the alarm
