Maddie McCann likely 'ALIVE and living in a lair' – investigator's shock claim

MISSING Madeleine McCann could still be alive and living in a lair without any idea who she is, according to an ex-policeman.



David Edgar maintains his belief Maddie – who went missing aged three in 2007 – is likely being held captive.

He previously claimed she may be in an "underground cellar or dungeon" after she disappeared in Portugal.

Edgar said: "She is most likely being held captive, possibly in an underground cellar or dungeon and could emerge at any time."

And Edgar – a retired Detective Inspector – spoke of his theory again on Monday, in response to the Home Office's pledge to give £150,000 to Scotland Yard in their search for Maddie.

He previously said: "She could literally be anywhere in the world but my hunch is that she is in Portugal.

"The chance that she may have been smuggled out of the country without being detected is highly unlikely.

"There is someone in Portugal with an open knowledge of where she is and what happened.

"Someone knows what happened and it’s time they came forward – maybe they already have."

Edgar said he believes a paedophile kidnap is the most likely scenario, with Maddie being kept against her will with a false identity.

Chillingly she wouldn't even be aware of her status as missing, he said, or that she is at the centre of a global hunt.

Balderdash IMO.

From this moment onward, posts making significant claims which are not backed up by a cite will be removed.

There have been similar cases to that scenario so it can't be ruled out.

Personally I can't see any reason why a person couldn't be taken out of Portugal as there were no possible way of checking all the vehicles leaving.

His opinion is based on a hunch. A hunch is no more than a feeling or a guess based on intuition. He has no evidence at all, so his opinion has no substance whatsoever.

It's wishful thinking pure and simple. There has never been anything revealed which could in any way suggest Maddie is alive and being held somewhere.  The police believe her to be deceased and I concur.

Maybe Edgar is preparing the ground for another private search when the government money runs out?

Can a private search take place while there is an ongoing PJ investigation ?

There were private searches in the first week.

Applying to be back on the payroll, you mean? Rumour says that there will be no Funds remaining after the costs incurred in Portugal have been paid.

Why would she be given a false identity if she was being kept in a lair unable to escape?    I don't agree when he says that Madeleine couldn't have left Portugal without being detected.   There was plenty of time for her to have been taken over the border. 


Madeleine could have been taken by a lone Paedophile,  though I believe it was organised,  that people had been watching the McCann's apartment,  it's too much of a coincidence that there were men posing as charity collectors sussing out apartments.   One woman said a man actually entered her apartment and stared at her child.

Not much for her to look forward to if that were the case.

No.

Not much for her to look forward to in either case,  she was taken from her family who loved her.

Underground 'lair'? I wonder how many of these he stumbled upon in his career. Zero?
