---------------I've just glanced at this, and can see she has wasted her journey.

“Martha? I’m stepping out on the balcony for a smoke. Hey, Martha, come here! What the hell is that man doing at that window? You see right there? He’s busting in the window? Martha, go call the police! Hey, he’s crawling in flat….must be planning to steal…oh, my god, Martha! Tell the police he’s carrying out a child! I’m running downstairs! Maybe I can stop him!”
Yes, you are looking at Apartment 5A, the very apartment the McCanns were renting on May 3rd, 2007. The time is 10 pm on February 12, 2012. The photo was taken from the third floor of the building across the street. There was some shrubbery along the left wall of the parking lot that has been removed but the view of the McCanns door and window would not have been obscured. The lights on the buildings and in the streets turn the building into a veritable fishbowl (some claim massive lighting improvement since that day but I have heard that it has not changed much). What idiot would think breaking in the window at Apartment 5A or carrying a child out of that window or even the door next to it would be a terribly bright idea? One thing kidnappers know is there are enough human fish in the sea that one doesn’t have to abduct someone under such risky conditions.
The next picture shows the front side of the apartment building with close-up of the window of Apartment 5A. I am standing in the doorway. Can you see how bright it is at night?
This picture shows the corner where Jane Tanner sees a man cross the street coming from the apartment, child in his outstretched hands. If you were an abductor, would you be comfortable choosing to walk out in the open, across the well-light street with three people on it? Would you at least think walking the other direction hugging the wall might be a bit smarter, maybe cut down your chances of being seen?
Robert Murat, the only other Arguido (suspect) in the case, lived on a couple blocks down the way in the direction Jane Tanner claimed the man carrying a child was walking. But, Robert Murat was a known individual in town and many people in Praia da Luz own places here or rent for a long period of time and return year after year. Would someone who knows people might recognize him walk down well-lit streets - his facetotally exposed – straight to his own house? He would have to have an IQ far below 70 to think this would be clever.
If anyone took a child from the apartment, it would be smarter to walk the opposite way of the man Jane Tanner claims to have seen. Here you can see the wall I just mentioned that he could walk very close to and be out of sight of anyone looking down from the tall apartment building across the street. Even more intelligent would be for an abductor to leave the back of the apartment by the sliding glass doors and hurry down the enclosed path which leads up to the parking area at the front of the apartment and go out at the end of the street and onward to the darker end of the road. It is exactly this path that leads to the Smith sighting.
Praia da Luz is a very cozy, brightly lit, off-the-main road very small and charming resort town. No sex ring is going to choose this location to target children. A child sex predator might lurk about here but he would be wiser abducting a child from the outskirts of the town or in pretty much any other nearby village. There are some darker side streets further to the edge of the town that a predator or someone carrying a child would be a bit less visible . Apartment 5A would rank pretty much at the bottom of any abductor’s list of places to grab a kid. The only reason someone would remove a child from 5A would be of necessity. Then he would never take the route Jane Tanner claimed she saw the man carrying a child.
More on the most likely route one would take to carry Madeleine from Apartment 5A in my next blog.
A comment from the poster - There's loads of pics on the site which are of no value whatsoever.
1. She has taken them in a rather chilly February, not at the start of the holiday season in May.
2. She hasn't done her homework - the lighting was improved BECAUSE of Madeleine's abduction. When ******** went to PDL, she made a point of remarking on how DARK the area was.
3. Is she completely, totally stupid? How long does she think it would take for the abductor to let himself in the main door, pick up a child and walk out again?
Sadly, 5a was one of the LEAST safe locations in the resort, as it was at ground level, on a corner site - some 'profiler' she is.
Oh, and it might not be a good idea to go on about Murat being recognised, under the circumstances. One or two issues there that have never quite been cleared up.
If this is the best she can do, she needn't have bothered. Still, she's eaten a lot, met lots of forkers, and no doubt will wring another potboiler out of this nonsense.
Comments from other readers.
Basically, she is saying that it's unlikely anyone would dare to take a child and carry her away from her apartment. Yet she theorises that Gerry McCann did precisely that!
Why are we even paying this woman's theories any attention? She is completely hopeless. All she's doing is desperately trying to find some McCann dun it theory with credibility.
Is this woman completely inept?
She is saying that an "intelligent" abductor would leave by the patio doors and head off along the path at the complex side of the apartments. Complete disregard for the fact that Jez Wilkins and Gerry McCann were standing just a few yards from the back entrance to the apartment.
THEY MIGHT HAVE SEEN HIM
An "intelligent" abductor would cover his bases. Much safer to leave by the front on the side away from the complex and out of the view of the McCanns and their friends
I really am dumbfounded by this poor quality of analytical thinking. I have been really criticial of her profiling so far, but had mainly attributed that to the misinformation she was working from. However, she is really proving her ineptitude now.
Praia da Luz is a very cozy, brightly lit, off-the-main road very small and charming resort town. No sex ring is going to choose this location to target children.
With loads of holiday makers with loads of CHILDREN
Real profilers disagree with her on this. It is a fact that parents are less likely nowadays to let their children wander out of sight. This makes it harder for paedos to find a victims as a result. Where BETTER than a holiday resort where there are lots of children and parents are relaxed?
I do hope that this appalling display of investigative analysis will be a wake up call to anyone who held this woman in any regard at all.
I know *someone* who is going to be delighted that she has made a fool of herself yet again. Someone who will be saying
"Thank you for that Pat Brown - Media Criminal Profiler - The gift that keeps on giving..."
The woman is a buffoon. Basically, she is saying that no abductor would attempt this, yet she proposes Gerry McCann did! Not only does she have him capable of superhuman feats of speed, he's now got a cloak of invisibility?
When I read her "profiler", the contradictory statements astonished me. It was like her thinking was in a complete fog. I put this down to rushing to capitalise on Kate's book success. But clearly she just thinks in a fog.
This is what comes of being a one woman show. She is self taught. No-one has ever tested her or trained her on the job.
She should be glad that the mainstream media aren't picking this up because it's an embarassment.
