"no evidence" to support a theory missing girl Madeleine McCann is alive

[G-Unit]

Maybe Amaral should have investigated all avenues,  instead of dismissing everything?

As I understand it there was no evidence that anyone used that window. Why, therefore, would any detective wonder about shoes?

What evidence was that?   No fingerprints,  person could have wiped the window.

Did the police 'wonder' about how that man who assaulted children got into the apartments?  -


"Whilst not identical, there are many similar aspects to each of the incidents in that in most cases there were no signs of forced entry to the property, nothing was taken, and the intruder appeared in the early hours of the morning," between 2 and 5 a.m., police said in a statement

Nothing taken being the relevant part imo.

According to Kate McCann the shutters and window were open at 22.00. According to Jane Tanner the 'abductor' struck between 21.10 and 21.20. According to Matt Oldfield the shutters and window weren't open at 21.30. In my opinion that conundrum was enough to keep the detectives busy.

Did the PJ know about this man you refer to?

Allegedly.

Tucson police said at the time that they believed she was kidnapped from her home, citing a broken screen they found in her bedroom.

“We have a window that was opened and a screen removed,” then-Tucson Police Chief Roberto Villaseñor said in 2012, according to CNN.

“We’re labeling it as suspicious circumstances and a possible abduction,” Villaseñor said.

Whether they believed it or not the Tuscon police ran with the evidence they had to hand when Isabel Celis disappeared, which in my opinion was less than the Portuguese police had, given the eye witness testimony of Jane Tanner.

Sadly the abduction theory they followed turned out to be the correct one.

Jane Tanners evidence was of no significance according to Redwood and the case moved on from there, so its possible the PJ had even less particularly given there was no broken screen or in this case shutter,so the link between the two is tenuous at best imo.

Also possible abduction, nothing confirmed.

I don't recall DCI Redwood saying Jane's evidence was of no import.

The link is that both children disappeared from their beds ... but I think you are probably correct that the link in progressing the investigation ends there.  Apparently one police force followed the evidence ... one police force ignored eye witness evidence.

Eye witness evidence of what precisely?

He said he had found Jane Tanners man so therefore he would be irrelevant to the case unless he had seen anything of course.  Unless you think that he is still the suspect in which case I would inform Scotland Yard or the PJ.

Did he actually say that?  Can you provide a quote, please.

Almost certain is Redwoods words in his revelation moment, shifting the focus onto Smithman.All information pertaining to OG is no longer available from the MET site this could be they have either identified Smithman or given up depending on ones point of view.

You are making specific claims you cannot substantiate ... which really isn't good enough is it?

Could be is far from specific,unless you mean Redwoods words.

Redwood:"DCI Redwood said it was a "revelation moment" when police discovered that the man seen by McCanns' friend Jane Tanner at 9.15pm was almost certainly an innocent British holiday-maker collecting his two-year-old daughter from a nearby creche.
He said: "Our focus in terms of understanding what happened on the night of 3 May has now given us a shift of emphasis. We are almost certain that the man seen by Jane Tanner is not Madeleine's abductor.
"It takes us through to a position at 10pm when we see another man who is walking towards the ocean, close by to the apartment, with a young child in his arms."
