General discussion about the latest news (not search related)

I am not thinking of Portugal.

Then its very remiss of OG if they know where she is and have done nothing about it.

So,Smithman must have been identified if  information is no longer required.

I can't know for certain, but IMO, Smithman has not been identified.  I would class Smithman as a dead end, as far as OG is concerned.  It's pure speculation, but Smithman might have been the final line of enquiry.

That would make sense.

... and if this was the last line, and he was 'found' this would have been splattered all over the news as an abductor has been identified and eliminated from enquiries.

So... Smithman...Hmmm

[Eleanor]

Hmm I just wonder IF the Portuguese can now shout back a huge "WE TOLD YOU SO"....

Told us what?  They never found anything?

[Miss Taken Identity]

Told us what?  They never found anything?

Yes!.. exactly. They never found an abductor either.

Not easy in a foreign country that has it's own Laws.  They can't just snatch a minor off the streets.

Some reckon it was easy enough in Portugal.

[Eleanor]

I doubt the abductor has been hanging about.  Or maybe he has.  I don't suppose that Madeleine is with the person who abducted her.

There was quite a lot of planning that went into the abduction of Madeleine McCann.  Hardly likely to have been a paedophile.

Is the A word allowed Eleanor? You have said it several times this afternoon but I was under the impression it was not allowed. If I am wrong then I apologise.

Well no fridge was found and the forensics didn't bear out body fluids sloshing about in the boot of the hire car either and the PJ and SY have been investigating Madeleine's abduction since 2013 ... the word "abduction" not allowed?? isn't that a breach of freedom of speech or freedom of expression?

The word Abduction is allowed.  But I probably should have said, In My Opinion.  Thanks for reminding me. I shall pay more attention to that in future, in all Comments.  Expect me to remind you all.

That is fine Eleanor. Thanks for making the rules clear.

Je Vous en prie.
