Maddie cops pursue mysterious woman in purple?

[misty]

I can well imagine the question: "Has the woman in purple been formally identified and eliminated? What about her husband?"

Response:

(No, but)
"A source said: “There is no evidence they were involved but it would be good to eliminate them from the investigation.”

IMO the 2 forces are working to close any possible avenue which a defence may use to show that a known offender reported by several members of the public was never (properly) investigated. I think the 2 teams know exactly where they are going in order to prove something beyond reasonable doubt.
If there is no evidence the couple were involved, I assume that means no phone data or witness statements implicated them in any way or they'd have been sought a long time ago.

Just checked:
Neil Tweedie has written periodically for the Mail since October 28th 2014. Rarely on this case, however, and I haven't checked the content of the rest of his articles on other subjects. For many, he's a second byline. Fair enough, everyone has to start somewhere, but it's totally unclear what knowledge he has of the background of this case.

One or both of them would have been part of the list of people to interview if there had been anything of substance to clarify, I would have thought.

In certain circumstances, yes, I find it possible.

You don't have to be a witness to the event to offer specialist knowledge, if you have any: e.g., engineers, builders,  architects contacting the police to alert them to details of a particular construction / demolition in the area of interest, for example.

Or, if someone suddenly stumbles on something odd while clearing out a deceased great-uncle's attic that raises a suspicion (still not a direct witness to the events).

Or, any member of the public who notices something potentially relevant that the police may not have been aware of even if it turns out to be a dead-end.


However, this doesn't appear to be the case in this latest tabloid saga.

Perhaps I should have made my definitions clearer but should I do so I suspect one of Cerberus' heads will delete it for being non PC.
I wasn't thinking of the expert who knows what he is on about spotting something that is of use.
I was thinking more of the professional interfering busybody who fancies their chances as Jane Marple or Hercule Poirot.
How many of them make a significant contribution ?

Wasn't crecheman later in the evening, when it was dark  when it would be impossible to distinguish purple from any other colour ?

Most cars have monchromatic lights, in other words their beams do not show colour, only shades between black and white.  If the sodium lights were as the old sodium lights uised to be, the colour that  they gave out was a sickly yellow... and shades of sickly yellow. So she wouild have a mixture of the two.

However some vehicles (Land Rover fell within this catagory) had head lamps that showed colour.  May be Jenny had such a vehicle?

Precisely

I have thought this for a long time.  They are making sure that a defence cannot wriggle out by saying " But you haven't looked for a body in PdL, or such."  Hence all  the deep digging searches.

I think that they know exactly where they are going.   Hopefully they find the last bits of proof and manage to elimenate any potential red herrings that might triop them up in  Court ... and it is just a matter of time before we hear something, hopefully soon.

IMO

Well, according to S.I.L., this lady is alive and well in Portugal, and easily contactable.

I must have missed that bit.  Has he done it?  You can say something is easy but when you try you find it not so easy.

Read back on the thread Rob. It's there.

Jassi was referring to a previous poster who thought crecheman might have seen the woman in purple, which seems unlikely. It wasn't dark when Jenny Murat was driving around.

You are quite right, it was soon after 8 pm when she drove back, it seems.  She drove there at about 7.50 pm.  It wopuld be light.

Not round our way it doesn't,how big do you suppose it was?

Luisa is still living in Almádena and can be seen most mornings as she waits for a bus or a lift to get to her place of work.  My source is someone who has lived and worked in Almádena for over 20 years and knows Luisa by name and face.

The PJ Files show clearly that Luisa is Portuguese.  The 'Todorov' came from her Bulgarian husband.  Those snippets were also confirmed by my source.

If you look at the PJ Files, she and her husband both had jobs in the Millennium that did not bring them into customer contact.  I should have asked if Luisa speaks English as well as Portuguese, but I didn't.

Nothing in the PJ Files fits with her being around apartment 5A on 3 May 2007 at 8 pm.

In the unlikely event OG is trying to track her down, it would have taken 5 minutes with Almádena sources, not a hunt across Bulgaria.

I didn't bother with this tale when it emerged, for the simple reason that OG traipsing across Bulgaria seemed nonsensical to me.  Without the Bulgarian link, there is nothing to connect Luisa or her husband to a 'woman in purple'.
