Sceptics beliefs ?

[John]

It would be quite a struggle to 'jemmy' shutters open without damaging them.

Clearly the person who initially used the phrase 'jemmied the shutter open' didn't have a clue what they were taking about.

[Brietta]

Yet supporters are keen to dismiss it as a sceptic thing,move along nothing to see here.

Quite ... exactly so ... there is nothing to see here but misinformation.

Absolutely correct ... no-one did 'jemmy' anything.
Which recalls to mind the sceptic belief and insistence that the shutter could not be raised from the outside.  As we all now know (I think) for certain ... that belief was wrong and it was perfectly possible to raise these shutters from the outside.

It was from Trish Cameron the day after I believe, relaying a telephone conversation with Gerry to the media.
In fact she even unsure of the terminology herself, suffixing the comment with '....or whatever you call it'. So yes, clearly she didn't really know what she was talking about, simply repeating what she had been told.

Perfectly possible to raise the noisy shutters from outside......then. open the window (leaving no finger prints or glove marks) climb through the open window, squeeze past the cots & lift Maddie out of/from on top of (wasn't really sure which one, neither were the McCanns) the bed, then, carry Maddie back past the cots & clamber back through the window (probably a bit awkward to do whilst carrying a child but nevermind), out into the gusty tundra, all this without waking the soundly sleeping Maddie.

OK? ... you are really asking if there is concrete evidence of an investigation into Madeleine's disappearance?  That sure is a new one on me.

We know the answerphone's on, so they must be out investigating, mustn't they?

All 2 of them. Maybe donuts?
Nah, how many are there? 4? They'll be on 7 hour days, no ovies permitted.
Sucks to be them.

Nails don't get manicured on their own you know.

Kate and Gerry never said it nor did any other witness to the events on 3rd ... by all means search if you wish ... but I think only sceptics still believe it is an issue.

They've said very little themselves. Most media stories quote a friend or a source. If we can't believe named people then we obviously can't believe these unnamed sources .

That's true as far as raising the shutter is concerned ... I know because I've seen it done and I think you may have too.

I do hope they've not picked up the long lunch habit by associating with the Portuguese. .

Apparently you ...
Accept nothing
Believe no-one
Confirm everything ... so shouldn't present too much of a problem for you

Pick a story Trish, sheesh.
The burglarductors are literally idiots, yet are able to defy physics - jemmy shutters open with an air bar, despite not being switched on enough to check the patio door, the most vulnerable exit in the gaff - which was unlocked.
These guys are a dichotomy; as hapless as they come making entry, like the Wet Bandits, yet are able to disappear with a child like Lord Lucan on ket, perpetrate the perfect crime, leaving not so much as a hair.
