The Smith sighting, related to an entry in Gerrys blog?
Day 37 and McCann could not figure it out. Why had no one come
forward about the sighting. Ths Irish family , how could
Gerry McCann possibly know it was an irish family who
saw a child that night?
At this juncture the only person who could have known ,was the
abductor himself.
Martin Smith was correct he did see Gerry McCann.
Day 37 - 09/06/2007 - Saturday
DATE GERRY USED
Day 37 - 11/06/2007
Kate and I had a slightly busier day on the media front than
expected. We did a short press interview for the Irish
Sunday papers, mainly to thank the Irish for their
fantastic level of support. We followed that with one
for the British Sundays which is likely to be the last
one we do for a while. We talked about our pain of not
having having Madeleine for such a long time and for our
need to grieve, which occurs mainly in private. We also
talked about how after Morocco we will have to spend
some time reflecting both emotionally, and also how best
the campaign can be taken forward. What we want to
ensure is that the campaign has a psoitive effect on
finding Madeleine.
After this we headed down to Sagres which is the very most
southwestern tip of Portugal. There is a very nice beach
and we had lunch with the family.
After returning from the beach we did the Irish version of
Crimewatch-‘Crimecall’. There are a lot of Irish
tourists in and around Praia da Luz and although the
awareness of Madeleine’s disappearance in Ireland is
extremely high, we want to ensure that everyone is aware
of the appeal and we want the Irish public to come
forward with photographs of people who they do not know
who were in and around Praia da Luz in the 2 weeks
leading up to the 3rd May. The address to upload
photographs is: to www.madeleine.ceopupload.com . We
have also asked for people to contact their local police
if they have seen a man matching the description of the
suspect carrying a child seen around the time of
Madeleine’s abduction. He is 30-40 years, 1.70-1.80m
(5’7”-11”), caucasian and was wearing a dark jacket,
beige or mustard coloured trousers with dark shoes. No
major news on the investigation front- we still believe
it is just a single phone call away.
We know Martin Smith was pressured by Team McCann but he obeyed the
law and remained silent . |
