Jane Tanner, one of the main witnesses in the process of Maddie's disappearance, yesterday again, gave a different account from the previous ones. Questioned by the team of the PJ sent to England, Jane did not manage to explain how, when and where she saw the supposed kidnapper - the same that, in November, she described in a very detailed way for the making of a sketched portrait of the suspect. Yesterday, Tanner could not even tell if she went to check on her own children in the room of Ocean Club. The sentence “I do not remember�? ended up being her most frequent answer. “She entered very calm and she was even smiling. When she went out she was trembling and her face was very red. She did not speak with anyone�? described to 24horas a source from the Leicester police.
We were able to establish that Tanner was confronted with the fact of, in the first statement, back in May, to have stated nothing relevant, later to have said that she saw a figure with, which she seemed to her, a child in his arms and, in November, to have described the alleged kidnapper. The answer was: “I do not remember exactly�?.The investigators even asked Jane to give again the description of the person, but the witness gave different indications from those that were used to make the drawing that ran throughout the world.
Also heard yesterday was Russell O'Brien, Jane's husband, who says he had gone to see the children at the same time that Maddie disappeared. He said, back in May, that the children had vomited, but the management of the resort Ocean Club assured that, on that night, nobody asked for any change of clothes. Questioned, Russell could not explain the discrepancy.
Today there will be cross-examinations to David and Fiona Payne, who organized the holidays of the group in the Praia da Luz.
