Parents’ Worst Nightmare: The Story of Madeleine McCann

The Smith Sighting

That night there was another sighting of a man carrying a child by an Irish couple named Martin and Mary Smith, on holiday from Ireland. At around 10 PM, the Smiths saw a man walking away from the direction of the apartment carrying a small child. They noted that the girl was around three or four years old, she had blonde hair and fair skin, had on light colored pajamas and bare feet.

They also noted the man looked uncomfortable carrying the little girl. They also said that the man looked to be in his mid-30s was around 5’7” or 5’9” with a slim build and short brown hair. In 2013, Scotland Yard also said that this sighting seemed to be consistent with the time in which Madeleine was taken. However, the mysterious man was not the only suspect in the case.
