Jane Tanner and the pink pyjamas?

Question

Jane Tanner stated in her original statement that she saw a man with short hair carrying a bundle that could have been a child wrapped in a blanket. She then changed this to a man with long hair carrying what was definately a child, she says she saw the childs bare feet and pink pyjamas. Heres a link that shows the McCanns holding up identical pyjamas to the ones Madeleine was wearing that night. The bottoms are WHITE only the top is pink. So, another Tanner lie exposed. How long beforw she changes her story yet again?

She also states that she didn't mention what she had seen straight away as she didn't want to upset Kate. Yeah sure, your friends daughter is abducted but you don't mention seeing a man carrying a child in pink Pyjamas in case you upset her. How do they think they can get away with these blatent lies.

Answer 1

Wilkins, told cops he could not recall anyone walking past him. Furthermore in all the time he was there he saw no man carrying a child. The TV producer is convinced he would have seen Jane Tanner pass by. He said: "It was a very narrow path and I think it would have been almost impossible for anyone to walk by without me noticing”.
Gerry and Tanner returned to the restaurant separately shortly afterwards and it was 10 p.m. when Kate decided to check on her children in the apartment.

There is a presence of a third witness which confirms the fact that Gerry McCann was talking to Wilkins, an Irish teenager confirmed she saw the two men talking, for a few minutes, near the McCann’s apartment: “There was only the father of the little girl talking to another man.” She didn’t see Jane Tanner or any man carrying a child either.
The girl wasn't in the list of guests, as their presence at Ocean Club wasn't registered with the management. Father and daughter have been in Portugal, to help the Portuguese Police in the reconstruction of what happened in the night of May 3 and to give a formal statement to Police.

Jane Tanner claimed she saw the two men but that was a later addition to her first statement and continued to guarantee that, at the top of the street, she saw a man with a child in his arms. The entire abduction theory depends on her and yet she left a vomiting child alone in her apartment while she sat drinking with friends at the Tapas Bar (and according to the waiters statements never left the table all night).

Jane’s Tanner statements have changed until now, two times, first account was: The man, looking Caucasian, was wearing beige trousers, black shoes and was covered in a thick jacket. He was slim, his height was 5'7" and with dark short straight hair. According to her words, he was carrying "a child or an object that could have been taken as a child wrapped in a blanket" or “bundle of clothes”. He was going towards the church.

In her second report in BBC Panorama’s documentary she morphed the description of the abductor, from a white man to a 5'8'' tall swarthy Mediterranean looking man with “quite a lot of dark, reasonably-long-to-the-neck hair”; the vagueness description of the bundle was changed to the certainty of a girl in pink pyjamas .

Jane, who socialized with the girl on a daily basis, did not recognize her though she could memorize the details of the alleged kidnapper. He was around 35 - 40 years, brown skinned, wearing beige trousers, a dark coat and black formal shoes (though JT didn’t see his face she was able to get the “abductor’s” age?). The “abductor” this time was heading towards Murat's home.

According to her statement, the child was wearing pink pyjamas, seemed to be asleep and was barefoot. This was the detail that she found the strangest “…and I can remember thinking oh that parent is not a particularly good parent, they've not wrapped them up”.

That night, after Kate discovered the disappearance of her daughter (and after Jane supposedly confirmed with another friend that Maddie was wearing a pyjamas of that colour), Jane Tanner made no mention of it to anyone. “I did not want to worry Kate even further”, she later said.

However as proven here, the lights that illuminate that street are made of sodium, Praia da Luz uses sodium vapour street lamps, which give light only under an orange spectrum as explained more scientifically here.

Street lights are a very special kind of yellow light in that they only produce a very narrow set of colours. So rather than giving out a bit of every colour of the rainbow (as with white light), only yellow-orange wavelengths are given off. The overall outcome if there are no wavelengths of light to reflect back is essentially monochrome. In that orangey tone light, at that distance, she could not have discerned either the pattern or the colour of the pyjamas the child was wearing.

In addition, the pyjama bottoms are white with a tiny pink floral pattern, have 3/4 length, that is almost knee length (as shown in the picture). Therefore if Madeleine was being carried the way Jane Tanner declared the pyjamas would probably go even higher than the knee's line thus making it impossible for Jane Tanner to see the colour of those tiny flowers.

*Note: The Forensic Sketch of Madeleine's probable abductor was commissioned by the McCanns.

Answer 2

Did Jane Tanner see a man with a child leave the apartment? Jeremy Wilkins did not see any such movements, nor, seemingly, did he see Ms Tanner. It is still possible that Ms Tanner saw what she alleges. However her September statement, to the effect that she could describe the child’s night attire, is singularly not persuasive. If this description were given in her initial statement/report to the police it might be anticipated that it would have been disclosed at a very early stage so that, in the absence of police records confirming to the contrary, it may be presumed that the night attire detail was not reported. In such circumstances there is a very high degree of probability that Ms. Tanner is not being truthful. If such is the case it must be asked whether she saw what she alleges to have seen or whether she ‘invented/reported’ the story, in the knowledge that a man did move the child’s body from the apartment at approximately 9.15 pm, and in apprehension that others might have seen the event and filed a similar report. If it was considered that others might have seen the movement of the child the report coming from within the circle of friends would exculpate the members of the group and ground the preferred ‘abduction’ story. If indeed the body was moved from the apartment c. 9.15 pm – a very suitable time for doing so as it was virtually dark – it is most significant that two male members of the group (Gerry McCann and Russell O’Brien) were not present at the restaurant at this time.

Answer 3

Great point and thanks for sharing. You deserve a star
Liars, the whole lot of them.
No wonder they fled the Portuguese jurisdiction.
In a court of Law any average lawyer would tear apart their oral evidence.
"Ms Tanner what is it going to be... a man with short hair carrying a bundle that could have been a child wrapped in a blanket.....a man with long hair carrying what was definitely a child.... AND.... saw the child's bare feet and pink pyjamas...."

I hope they televise the Court proceedings... advertisers will have a field day bidding for live air time

XKLAMATION are you Joana Morais ? I love your website and I have publicize it here with a question. If it is your site, BRILLIANT stuff. Thanks (by the way, I am Portuguese too)

Answer 4

She's contradicted herself a hell of a lot for someone who is supposed to be telling the truth. First the abductor was walking up the road, then down the road. Then there was a blanket, and then there was not. On Panorama, she said that it was strange for someone to be wearing a jacket in the summer, and then she said she had put a jumper on because it was cold. I wish the McCanns would shut their buddies up, because they are doing them no good, and I also wish that they would answer the 40 questions that they refused to answer back in September.

Answer 5

when i saw jane tanner interviewed on the tv i noticed that very same look in her eyes an smirk as kate mccan loving the media attension. i would take anything she says with a pinch of salt another one whose story changes.

Answer 6

Curiouser and curiouser. I have also read today Gerrys Tennis bag has gone missing. Clarence says . Oh no its not.and that Gerry did not have one.
I wonder if they left it behind in Portugal

Answer 7

It was late evening -- could you tell the difference between pink and white in the darK?

Answer 8

She didn't mention what she had seen straight away because she didn't see anything.
We now read that that someone on another forum saw that Leicestershire police have a Madeleine McCann link on their website. This person rang up the Constabulary and asked why they had this link seeing as K&G are arguidos and this woman said that they weren't suspects !!!!!
God helps us when the Leic. police interview after Christmas...... I smell another McRat .

Answer 9

Sounds like she has lost the plot ,must be nerves.

Answer 10

I wonder if Jane Tanner is a compulsive liar.
