The Controversial 'Smithman' debate

Dr Julian Totman aka 'Tannerman'

In the 2013 BBC Crimewatch 'McCann Special', DCI Andy Redwood ruled out the Tanner sighting after Dr Julian Totman recognised himself and his daughter and came forward to eliminate themselves - which was remarkable considering 'Tannerman' was reported to have looked like any of these 'suspects', some of them women:

DCI Redwood, having ruled out 'Tannerman' and declaring this 'a revelation moment', made 'Smithman' the focus of Operation Grange's enquiry. To date, no one has come forward to eliminate himself from their enquiries, although many people believe 'Smithman' was Gerry McCann carrying his recently deceased daughter through the streets of Praia da Luz to find her first hiding place - a place so secret and secure that the many Police and Police dogs failed to find her.
