[The General]

Is that what you are suggesting actually happened?

What is the gig with doing this?
You're not interested in the answer, save for maybe being thrown a morsel that somehow 'compromises' the poster's opinion. And then what? 'There. I knew it, you said it, I knew you were one of them. Look everyone, P73 just admitted that's what he thought happened'.

I don't get it at all. 'A sphincter say's what?' 'What?'

[kizzy]

I thought the whole of PdL was searched, not just the area around the apartment?

Yes eventually not straight away - wasn't kgmc out searching in early hours on there own.

Well how far did thr police and others search before they packed in for the night?

Once the local environs have been thoroughly searched looking for a missing child, I imagine a decision would have to be made at some point. How far can a 3 year old perambulate in such a short time? Half a mile? And would probably gravitate to known places; so once all of those areas have been searched, you will probably need daylight to search more thoroughly the following dawn.

By which time weren't the bins emptied?

[The General]

By which time weren't the bins emptied?

Not sure of the timing. I would be looking in bins around the area if I was searching. But only within reasonable walking distance for a 3 year old.

P73 said "You have the beach/rocks, sewer pipes, boats, building site, deserted buildings/gardens, even bushes to temporarily hide. You may have to go back later to better hide if you are out alone!"

It was mainly the bit about making the hide better that I was curious about.

Who knows - same as imo who knows what kgmcc was doing out on there own for a few hours.

She isn't going to climb into a bin on her own, so why connect the bin search to the walking distance of a 3-4 year old?

Fair one.
In this instance, again using my extraordinary powers of logic, I were a perp, and nobody can prove I am, I would be very reluctant to return to the 'hiding' place. That's why most killers disposing of bodies generally do a rubbish job and the body is found by a dog walker at 6am.

[pathfinder73]

Why would you have to phone home to your medical friends for advice on any of that?  Why would you need to risk your liberty by going  back and re-hide the body when you could simply claim the abductor dunnit (Faithlilly’s theory) and where, in the middle of the night without a car or digging equipment and with the possibility that you might bump into search parties and dogs at any time, are you going to find a better hiding place?

You don't need to phone anyone. In that theory, an autopsy would discover the cause and time of death. If time of death was 3 hours before she was reported missing then what do you think they would do?

[The General]

She isn't going to climb into a bin on her own, so why connect the bin search to the walking distance of a 3-4 year old?

It's extremely unlikely, agreed. But it wouldn't stop me looking in some really unlikely places out of pure desperation - under cars, in cars, culverts, sheds, dog kennels....bins. I'd be hoping she was lost, cared out of her wits and found refuge somewhere.

IMO you’d probably need daylight to scout out a decent secondary hiding place for a body, somewhere that no one is ever going to think to look for or find, especially if you’re in unfamiliar territory, without transport, accomplices or tools.  However, with that comes massive risk of being discovered, particularly as you kicked up an almighty stink about the missing child just a few hours earlier and risk bumping into searchers at any moment.

I would think that scenario wouldn't work - if you didn't want the body to be connected back to you

You would need to get rid of it permanently - never to be found.

True - for the PJ could have been told to keep an eye on the McCanns, and I've read that they were watching Kate and Gerry doing their early morning search.  (At least some of the police saw them searching.)

  OK  She had no shoes on.  I can't see her going for miles on her own in the dark.
