What are we to make of all of this? There can only be so many scenarios, either the forensics report did exist showing these blood stained footprints or it didn't. Would the British media be so callous as to invent such a story?
Was this in effect yet another example of the FSS leaking preliminary reports which never made it to the files or was the entire thing a worthless media invention intended to smear the parents?
What I have found from this study was that the GMB site had reported the shoe print had been found outside the bedroom window, whereas all the articles on the topic had the shoe print found internal to the apartment.
There were no pools of blood in the apartment for the person to walk through to get blood on the shoe, so they tended to say it came in on the shoe from outside somewhere.
So in some way I was heartened by these reports as it supported the theory that Madeleine had been injured whilst out of the building, and I thought Kate or one of the other women might have brought the blood in on their shoes as Kate did her check or when they returned to check out what Kate was saying after the alarm was raised.
[I was incorrect here- only the MOJ forum says it was outside the window.]
