So what actual searching was there?

[misty]

But why does no-one mention pulling the sofa out in their statement?

Was anyone other than Kate asked to itemise the furniture/objects they touched during the searches?
The answer you seek would only be provided if the appropriate question was asked in the first place.

So he deflects the question ' I'm sorry I can't answer that .' result : wild speculation
He insists the question is never asked. The Daily Snail next day ' yesterday DCI Redwood refused to be drawn on whether the McCanns were being investigated at this time'.

And the legal ramifications of that would be...?

Absolutely nothing.

you will find that in those interviews any questions will have been agreed beforehand...Redwood could have simply told them not to ask the question. Obviously the fact that redwood said what he did bothers you and throws all your theories...that's because all your theories are wrong

All Redwood amply demonstrated was that he knew nothing.

Just beliefs.

I am not referring either to the court case or to the book.  I am attempting to address the the subject of the thread. 

Madeleine is a missing child who has been declared dead without a shred of supporting evidence to that effect.  The search for her at a time and place of the best chance of finding what had happened to her was abrogated in preference for securing a conviction.

It was a technique which had worked perfectly well in 'solving' the Cipriano case. 

In Madeleine's case neither Robert Murat or Madeleine's parents were uneducated country folk.

Mr Amaral's adherence to his thesis is just one instance of actions which by their nature must have interfered with the search for Madeleine ...

Of the many professional opinions which have been expressed about Madeleine's case the Amaral theory is considered implausible.
Not least by the current PJ and SY teams who are interested in finding who abducted Madeleine following leads, many of which were available at the time to the Amaral investigation.
If his theory did not interfere with the search for her ... what other reason is there for that level of incompetence?

Only the courts can do that after an application has been made. Presumably you can demonstrate which court made the declaration? Otherwise your assertion is merely just that, an assertion.

yes....its the Court Of Public Opinion...the only court in the UK where the death penalty still exists

Who knows but Redwood certainly made sure there was none.

I thought the scuttlebutt was that the general public is tremendously supportive of Drs M^cCann ?

You mean those who leave their children unprotected whilst they drink and eat ?

Who knows?  I know for one, as does anyone with an ounce of sense.

Wrong thread Stephen.

What is this 'thing' you people have about scoring through posts?

You do not disagree with what I posted then?

                         I did not read your post ... nor shall I till you stop playing juvenile games.

Perhaps I did not make myself clear enough ... I find scoring wholesale through what I have posted rude and offensive as it is no doubt intended to be ... do please grow up and try to show a bit more respect.
