Part 2/11:
The groundwork for the abduction narrative is detailed in Richard D. Hall’s film Phantoms, where he explores the various sightings and testimonies around the time of Madeleine's disappearance. The first prominent sighting was reported by Jane Tanner, who claimed to have seen a man carrying a child that night. However, many inconsistencies and lack of corroborative detail undermine her testimony, making it more difficult to accept at face value.
