Madeleine McCann: A key witness appeared who could reverse the situation

An Irish family on holiday in Portugal pbaded in front of a man who would probably have transported Madeleine McCann a few moments after having seized her, according to an American expert

Criminal expert Pat Brown thinks a mysterious man who walked with a still child in his arms is the key to solving the case.

The Smith family, originally from Ireland, sighted a black – haired man around 10 pm on May 3, 2007, when Madeleine disappeared from an apartment located in Praia da Luz, in L ''. Algarve.

Brown, who is investigating the case, in a podcast on the portal Nine.com.au, said that it was the main key to the case and that it 's the case. he had been following her for years "and that he is holding her today."

The Smith family saw a man carrying a girl on a dark street about 150 meters from the beach.

That same evening, Jane Tanner, friend of Kate and Gerry, Madeleine's parents, also saw a dark-haired man wearing a brown jacket, black shoes and beige trousers with a girl dressed in a pink pajamas and White. .

Tanner said he saw 45 minutes before the Smiths. He said he saw the man carry a girl away from Madeline's room at the Ocean Club Resort.

"What makes the Smiths' observation very interesting is that Jane Tanner is a friend and the Smith family is a group of people who have no idea who the McCanns are."

In the episode of the podcast, the expert breaks down the two observations with all the details.

"The Smith sighting happened, they saw a man carrying a girl on the road, to the beach," Brown said.

Jane was one of the friends and family who dined with the McCanns at the time of Madeleine's disappearance.

Tanner went to see his children around 9:15, when he spotted a man near Kate and Gerry's apartment.

Gerry was nearby and his friend Jeremy Wilkins had just watched Madeleine and her twin little brothers, Sean and Amelie.

Kate discovered that her eldest daughter was gone when she went to check in again at 10 o'clock in the evening.

Family friend Jane challenged police orders because she said, "I think it's important for people to know what I saw, because I think Madeleine was kidnapped . "

The police spent four years investigating Jane's observation, although a family doctor said the man in question was probably him.

Julian Tatman walked near the McCann's apartment with his two-year-old daughter after leaving a kindergarten at the station.

He was questioned by the Republican National Guard soon after the disappearance of Maddie, 3, in May 2007, but his wife, Rachel, said, "My husband told the local police that he could be safe. acting on him, but we have not heard anything for years. " .
