BBC: MAN'S DESCRIPTION
White
5ft 10ins
Medium build
Short hair
Wearing a dark jacket, beige trousers and dark shoes
Carrying "a child or an object that could have been taken as a child".
Gerry McCann: "We feel sure that this sighting of a man with what appeared to be a child in his arms, is both significant and relevant to Madeleine's abduction," he said.
Times: A family friend of Gerry and Kate McCann has told police she saw a blonde-haired girl being carried away from an Algarve holiday apartment wrapped in a blanket at the time Madeleine is believed to have been snatched from her room...was on her way to dinner with Gerry and Kate McCann when she saw the man close to the open window of the bedroom where four-year-old Madeleine had been sleeping. The girl he was carrying was wearing pink pyjamas, the same as Madeleine's.
So, a family friend, who, conveniently, was several hours late going to dinner with the McCanns, says she sees a man by the McCanns flat, outside of an open window, with a blonde-haired, sleeping girl, wearing pink pyjamas, and she wasn't suspicious what this stranger was doing with her friend's 3 year old daughter?
Isn't hindsight wonderful with a £2.5M reward at stake? A possible vague sighting gets clearer and more colourful and more elaborate with each telling...just like in Chinese whispers.
Gerry McCann's mistake in seeking to control the mainstream media was that he forget to take into account the blogosphere. He said that the public hold the key to this mystery. He's right. All it requires now is for it to unlock his mind.
