						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 .  |
