Is she independent or not?  Why would she haveto explain anything if the window evidence is never going to be heard in court?
So is "Amy" actually Amy Tierney?  I explored the reason (in another thread) how she got to the apartment early enough to see the window open and the shutters still up. 

Coming to think about it again that fact just about proves it wasn't Kate who first notices Madeleine missing.

I was very tempted to say who knew Madeleine was missing before Kate did, but it would have been called libel so I didn't.  I feel the rules on libel do restrict the development of new theories.  (When in fact it appears a common tactic for the police to explore all possible theories in this manner.)


What I can't see is how Amaral processed this information and made sense of it.

It is very interesting that Amy was just happening by and saw this. could she have seen the 'abductor' as well? So where does that leave poor Diane Webster- telling us it didn't open  and stay up... or Gerry Testing it.  WHO CLOSED THE SHUTTERS AND WINDOW? Tsk!

As I have said previously, following listening to hundreds of murder cases described on YouTube, where you have parents involved, they will protect the name of their offspring.  If Dianne had any suspicion her daughter or son in law were involved in any way it is likely, from my studies, I'd say she would do things to make it more difficult to prove any possible case against them. [Note: I'm not saying they were involved]
So I ask myself why would she get involved in trying to determine if the shutters could be opened from the outside?  Firstly it would be make sure her children can't be implicated in any way.   Secondly it would be to make it seem impossible to do so, even if it wasn't impossible to open from the outside.
I have not been able to work out if Gerry's attempt was before or after Dianne's.

She is independent, and if she's telling the truth then others are not. Did I say the window evidence was never going to be used? I think I said it wasn't a fact that it would be used as you insisted.

I think we have made some progress actually, from the “no evidence of abduction “ position to the “some evidence of abduction “ position.  I’m cool with that.   I’m also certain rhat should an alleged abductor ever come to court the judge and jury (if there is one in Portugal) will want to know how it was possible for him or her to get into the apartment and that his or her defence team will use the absence of evidence linking to the suspect at the points  of entry to argue his or her innocence.   Therefore I maintain that the open window and shutter would be evidence that would be tested in court.

In the Alesha MacPhail murder ... the psychopath's mother contacted police and handed in CCTV footage of her son which played a prominent role bringing him to the attention of the police and in his subsequent trial and conviction.

It is therefore not a rule of thumb that parents do not implicate their child in a crime ... quite often they do.

What is extraordinary about Madeleine's case is that innocent witnesses have had everything about them mulled over ad nauseam while little thought is given to the perpetrator despite two police forces now looking for him/her or them.
That's the internet for you though.

An open window and shutters is evidence that someone opened them. Who, when or why is unknown and a defence lawyer would be quite correct to point out that there's no evidence that his client was the person who opened them for the purpose of abducting MBM.

Hardly surprising when you consider that nothing is known about this perpetrator.

You are right it might not be absolute.  I get the impression that the response "that parents do not implicate their child in a crime"  maybe be as high as 90% and only 10% that would turn their kids in to the police.

Goncalo Amaral dismissed the notion of stranger abduction and introduced many of his prejudices into a sceptic belief system promoted by him and still adhered to twelve years down the line.

One very good reason for nothing being uncovered about this perpetrator in 2007 is that the investigation quickly moved into the realms of the fantasies of blue bags ~ missing fridges and MI5 operatives playing cover-up.

Where was the good solid police work usual to finding a perpetrator and building a case and not the ephemera of bottles of wine and non-existent anon witnesses such as the Irish teenage smoker.

12 years on, nothing has advanced - as far as we can tell.
Plenty of leads that went nowhere, perhaps because they were never real leads in the first place, yet OG still plods on.

Isn't the pressure on the PJ the real benefit to the UK community.  If there are still millions of tourists going to Portugal, an improved method of investigating missing children, break-ins at holiday resorts, and rapes of tourists is the payback for the expense of investigating the MBM case.

Amaral had got away with those tactics before so why not try it again?

It has never been established that there is a perpetrator. In order to believe there is one it's necessary to believe that those closest to MBM are completely innocent. In order to believe those people are completely innocent it's necessary to believe they told the truth. Some people do believe that, others don't.

In my opinion it's those who support the parents and their friends who are relying on belief. Those who view them with scepticism are refusing to believe. They point to evidence which suggests a possible lack of truthfulness. What they don't know is why that evidence exists.

My original point for the thread was to question why sceptics still hold fast to their beliefs   that the McCanns are complicit in their child's disappearance in spite of two ongoing police investigations which have been investigating the evidence for years, and have declared them not to be suspects.

Just to add on a personal note, we have just celebrated our Golden Wedding and the whole experience has brought sharply home to me how tragic it must be for any family to have a member of their family  missing from any celebration when the family member's whereabouts is unknown.
