Could e-fit be Matthew Oldfield?

Here's a good article that summarizes events of the last 6 years, and suggests Matthew Oldfield could be 'Smithman.'  This would be consistent with other eyewitnesses who claimed this man to have greying hair.

How long will the  Tapas group be able to take the pressure before they turn on each other?

If it were Oldfield, it would strongly suggest they were laying a false trail to support abduction. However, did he have a child of suitable age to act as substitute?

No, the Oldfields' then only child was from memory somewhere around a year old at the time, certainly younger than two.

Other people have suggested that perhaps Gerry wandered around to create the illusion of abduction. I don't believe that would happen with any of the group. It would be too risky for them be recognized. IMO if it was one of them carrying Madeleine it would have been as it seems, as desperate act to hide the body.

I also cannot imagine that anyone but Gerry would carry out that task. No matter how close a friendship they may have have, I doubt anyone would actually take such a risk for someone else.

100% Ditto Vikki!

Hastily cobbled together, and one big, filthy mess, that the gruesome twosome are still unsuccessfully trying to sanitize.

The Smith's saw a panicked GM on that ill-fated night scurrying to hid the body!  He got back and told JT if she didn't say she saw him and the abductor at the same time, they would all be screwed..... hence Bundleman was born.   I believe ROB JT KM and GM are all involved up to their necks.
