Parents’ Worst Nightmare: The Story of Madeleine McCann

A Strange Sighting

Soon, as police began investigating the disappearance, it was revealed that there were two separate sightings that may have actually bared witness to Madeleine being taken. First, Jane Tanner, one of the other adults on the McCann trip, said she saw a man carrying a child that night. She said when she had gone to check on her own daughter around departing at 9:00 PM, she passed Madeleine’s father who was making his way back after the check he did at 9:05 PM.

Gerry McCann was seen chatting with a fellow vacationing Brit, but neither one of the men remember seeing Jane. Jane was later accused of making up the sighting entirely. She remained steadfast that she saw a man carrying a young child heading away from the apartments.
