Redwood's first announcement was very widely reported in the UK - did the Portuguese press ignore it? 'taken in a criminal act by a stranger' leaves no wriggle room at all.

SY know what they are doing, armchair detectives basically don't - although they like to think they do.<br />I have no idea why Len is surprised that the Met think Madeleine was abducted. It is not new news - a year ago Redwood said she was taken in a criminal act by a stranger, which to me rules out her parents. All they said this time simply reinforced that, and made clear that they have all been interviewed again.<br />Some people will only EVER be happy with an investigation which declares the parents suspects from the off, but realistically we all know that is not going to happen. Not because they are protected or important or Freemasaons or any of the rest of the rubbish, but because there is no real evidence against them - and never was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521984283069584860.post-57234310522071705262013-07-08T08:19:47.375+01:002013-07-08T08:19:47.375+01:00Since these postings it has now officially been an...Since these postings it has now officially been announced by the met,they have 28 people of interest. As a former police officer it beyond believe that this investigation is backed by u.k. Govt. The met should be investigating the tapas 7 statements,some of which changed time and again.<br />Depending what was in the papers. A waste of Police time.<br />Again why was the door unlocked you would not leave 1000 euros lying on the side, and leave door unlocked, so why do so when there are three young children inside. It is also alleged and apparenty confirmed that on a previous night these children were left alone whilst the adults went to chaplins restraunt which is a good 10 mins walk from apartments. if this is true why are people discarding neglect charges against parents. let someone from the met come forward and and stop these rumours or fact and take appropriate action. Also take a serious look at jane tanners statements.

How about we hear about one of the major real reasons, besides no new evidence? The McCann's will only cooperate if they're exempt from blame. What is the point in PJ doing all that work and coming to the same conclusion as before, only to not be able to take it further? Why is half the UK ignoring what's really going on? Why are the McCann's percieved to be modern-day heroes? Why do people excuse them for their negligence 'because they've suffered enough'? Why is there no balance? Why keep scapegoating PJ when they were doing their best to help?<br /><br />It stinks.

Fact or fiction?
Why did Kate say from ...Abduction. Fact or fiction?<br />Why did Kate say from the start that it was an abduction?<br />Because the shutters were interfered with, the window opened, and the curtain blowing in the draught.<br />Fair enough.<br /><br />But we now know that the shutters weren't smashed, jemmied or otherwise forced open, the sheen of lichen was unsmudged and the only fingerprint on the window was Kate's. No evidence of an abduction, then, from standing in the bedroom doorway.<br /><br />So why was 'abduction' the first and only scenario acceptable to the parents?<br /><br />The case as, the Team want it investigated, is based on a lie from the start. Even Clarence Mitchell admitted months late (after the parents had fled Portugal)that the window/shutter claims were a 'mistake in the heat of the moment'. Perhaps, but still claimed as the truth in Kate's book, published with clear hindsight.<br /><br />Had this been a simple staged robbery with the intention of defrauding an insurance company, the couple would have had their knuckles rapped within days.<br /><br />Yet with the life of a child involved, the same untrue stage-setting is still propounded as 'the truth'.<br /><br />It is beyond my comprehension.Bill Fosternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521984283069584860.post-52160008831988960912013-06-20T11:30:34.402+01:002013-06-20T11:30:34.402+01:00Dear Anonymous (June 19, 2013 at 5:05 PM),
OK I h...Dear Anonymous (June 19, 2013 at 5:05 PM),<br /><br />OK I had already read the documents that you mentioned in your post and, as an ex-police officer, who specialised in criminal intelligence (gathering/collation/interpreting) I cannot find any evidence within those volumes that definitively points to stranger abduction - it is merely one of a number of possible scenarios and, given other more substantive and different indications within the files, the least likely.<br /><br />As you correctly point out there are a number of "people of interest" detailed within the PJ files who, if I was involved in the investigative review, I would be looking to re-interview, but purely to clarify points of detail. However, my primary focus at this stage would be on the 9 "people of interest" at the very crux of the investigation and my professional belief is that this is where the current MPS review is strategically centred, despite the smokescreen that may recently have been thrown up by the more salacious elements of the British media.<br /><br />To Len Port: may I commend you on your very balanced article - a refreshing change for a subject that is frequently surrounded by myths, obfuscation, and downright lies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521984283069584860.post-57744276486860358722013-06-20T10:38:39.727+01:002013-06-20T10:38:39.727+01:00It has been a game, but the only strategic game yo...It has been a game, but the only strategic game you can play here on Earth is Chess.

'are they interested in the answers to the 48 questions that Kate Mccaan refused to answer?'.<br /><br />That's all we need know in order to decide if they (SY) are taking part in an exoneration exercise or a genuine enquiry.<br /><br />If their answer is no they're not interested.. then I think they should stop pissing around with taxpayers' money.
