Sunday Times claim that Smith e-fits had been suppressed for 5 years.

So we do not know whether they were passed to the Portuguese. You are only assuming what happened.

Well we know they  didn't pass them to Scotland Yard   ...  who had to go as far as getting McCann threats of legal action lifted before they could get the information from someone else  (  the McCanns private investigators )

Given that  the  McCanns didn't pass the e fits  to Scotland Yard,  why on earth would you think they would pass them to the PJ  ?   

The McCanns silence on the matter is deafening

And the proof they were not?

You don't know either way..so I suggest you stop blabbing on about it..until you do.

Have you made that doctors appointment yet?

It seems like a valid assumption based on the available facts to me.

That would be as a totally unbiased observer with no axe to grind?

I have no axe to grind and I resent your assertion that I do!

The topic is the suppression of information that might have lead to the safe return of Madeleine 5 years ago. It is the Mccans who have claimed that she is being held by Paedophiles, not me.

I was referring to their belief that she is alive and currently in grave danger and yet they have hindered her rescue.

I'm bumping this post in order to,  hopefully,  bring the thread back on topic

Oh, so they did produce The Confessions in Court.  I thought you said that this wasn't allowed.  Fibbing, were you?

I didn't say that it was not allowed. I said that any confessions made must be reconfirmed in the front of the judge during the trial in the court room. Is it that difficult for you to understand?

Any suspect has the right to retract any statements made during the investigation at the trial. However, once a confession is made in court in front of the judge, it can no longer be retracted.

BTW, Leonor did confess to the police in the presence of her lawyer but as she did not confess in the courtroom it was not valid as evidence.

Don't you ever ever dare call me a liar again!

There was a report on channel 4 news the other week, their europen affairs correspondent stated the efits were never passed on to the police.....c4 is a pretty reputable news channel

You're willing to give the Mccanns the benefit of the doubt then?

The e-fits were never passed to the police, whether SY or PJ. The McCanns didn't give them out and Oakley didn't, so we can assume that they were suppressed for 5 years. It seems that Gerry, on Crimewatch, kept speaking about this new evidence several times, when he knew very well that they were part of the Oakley report from 5 years ago.

Is that a fact?

Yes, it is.
