Gospel then!

It was posted in response to Icabodcrane's contention that neither Mitchell nor the McCanns had made such a request. It proves that he was wrong on both counts.

As regards it being 'gospel' or not. In this case I would suggest, yes it is the truth as it merely confirms what the McCanns themselves have publicly said.

Portuguese police set to re-open Madeleine McCann investigation – five years after they dropped the case

Restart hunt: Portuguese police are to begin looking for Maddie again



It is five long years since police in Portugal gave up the search for Madeleine McCann.

They closed the file on the three-year-old who vanished in May 2007 during a family holiday in the resort of Praia da Luz.

Now, in a dramatic development, they are seeking permission to reopen the investigation which they shelved in 2008.

And it is largely down to a number of new leads uncovered by cold case detectives from Britain.

A team of officers from the Policia Judiciaria, based in Porto, have already started working alongside the Scotland Yard team.

And they are understood to have issued an official request to relaunch the search after considering new material from the UK.

Sources say an official announcement is expected today. Under Portuguese law the probe can only be reopened after a ruling by senior prosecutors.

Pedro do Carmo, deputy head of Policia Judiciaria, last night refused to confirm or deny the move – which would be a huge boost for Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry.

It is believed that Portuguese police are now convinced the McCanns were not involved in their daughter’s disappearance and are ready to probe the abduction theory.

Very significant (if its true) last sentence in that Mirror article.

It is believed that Portuguese police are now convinced the McCanns were not involved in their daughter’s disappearance and are ready to probe the abduction theory.

That would put a chasm between them and Amaral and his 'thesis'.

I think you are probably being too optimistic Sadie. All this means is that there is evidence. I doubt that there is an arrest of an abductor imminent. Indeed Redwood was clear this could still be a very, very long haul.

Very much in the right direction. And all this could have been done back in 2007 if the original investigation had not (as the Mirror correctly puts it) been "botched".

Oh, I am a bit diappointed if we have to wait, but so long as it happens.

That is what matters.

"botched" is a word that has been used a lot in this case but that was down to amaral for taking the iinvestigation in the wrong direction in the first place..
