No Smells!

[Angelo222]

He/she would, if keen to give the false impression that  Madeleine had gone of her own volition.  And especially that no one with access to OC keys was involved.

IMO

The glaringly obvious response to that is that she probably did walk out of her own volition.

Good point Holly, that would appear to rule Smellyman out then.

Lol it seems that way!

Although KM is clearly not oblivious to smells since she tells us on P98 of her book:

"Another British woman, in her late 40's or early 50's, turned up on our veranda at one point and kept trying to put her arm round me.  She was quite drunk and smelled of cigarettes and I remember willing her to go away".

[Brietta]

As far as I am aware, none.

Present legislation requires evidence to substantiate a person being made an arguido.  If I remember correctly at least one of the most recent arguidos in Madeleine's case was in the employment of the holiday company at the time of her disappearance.

[ShiningInLuz]

Is there any evidence that supports an employee or associate of OC being involved?

Such evidence has been reported to OG around 2-3 years ago.  OG is in a position to look up a crucial piece of information as a litmus test, whilst mere mortals are denied access, so I've no idea how this turned out.

If it was the person chain smoking in the empty apartment,  then Madeleine's room may have stank of cigarettes.  Could be why the window was opened.   Though I think it was a means of escape if corned in the room.

That would be a most unusual thing to do IMO.  You said ".... the person chain smoking in the empty apartment"  Which apartment are you talking about?

OK I understand what you are saying now:
from the link "A PILE of discarded cigarette butts could have been the link to finding missing Madeleine McCann.

A witness claims the discarded butts were found on a shared balcony that had a bird’s eye view of the apartment in Portugal, from where toddler was snatched a few days before her fourth birthday in 2007.

So "If it was the person chain smoking in the empty apartment on the shared balcony,  then Madeleine's room may have stank of cigarettes.  Could be why the window was opened.   Though I think it was a means of escape if cornered in the room."  Is that what you meant?

Was was that? One of the two women drinking most of the day? Jayne Jensen or Anne Wiltshire?

"At about 16.00 we were at the swimming pool bar within the complex. It was at this time that we had a few drinks with Raj Balu, Jayne Jensen and Anne Wiltshire"

If that really was Jayne Jensen or Anne Wiltshire then Jez Wilkins is really in trouble.  For it is claimed he told them that it was the McCann's kid that was missing while they were out searching.  Yet he says he never left his apartment.

Yes Rob it is what I meant,  sorry trying to do too many things at once at the moment.

From the witness:

"I was there to check, erm, no, no funny sort of smells, no sort of funny draughts, no sort of funny sort of noises, no, erm, nothing that I can think of for that. I mean, it was a complete just a shock out of the blue when, you know, I'd been in and then suddenly somebody's saying Madeleine's missing, there was nothing that made me think, oh'."

Who in the tapas 9 was changing statements?

Who in the tapas 9 was changing statements?  is this a trick question haha!


for the benefit of Lace who may have missed it:

So you don’t think it was someone having a sneaky cigarette because they weren’t allowed to smoke in their apartments?

That's alright, I'll help you out.
