Now the Mail are in on it,its not April fool is it.

Detectives searching for the youngster have been scouring Europe in an attempt to locate the mysterious figure, who was the main lead keeping the investigation alive.

Luisa Todorov, who worked in the resort, was recently cited by criminologist Heriberto Janosch Gonzalez as being the 'woman in purple' and still lives less than a mile away from site where Maddie disappeared from.

Back to the drawing board,or even back to the original,JT seen by JW.

I really can't get over the stupidity of statement -

A source told The Sun: 'There is no evidence they were involved but it would be good to eliminate them from the investigation.' 

She has already been questioned and so if there is no evidence of involvement of such a peripheral figure , then there is no need to be investigated again

Indeed Jassi, rank stupidity.

Jane is the one wearing purple identified by name by Jez and if there is anyone who should be interrogated questioned by police, it's her

I do believe the met are far superior to the initial investigators who targeted the parents due to their failure to understand the canine and forensic evidence

I totally agree.   Also the fact that SY detectives will not be adversely affected by the many culture differences - some of which IMO caused the PJ to be unnecessarily suspicious of the McCanns..

It seems clear to me that UK police officers and some PJ officers of Amaral's  'generation' (the old school) have very different attitudes and understandings as to what constitutes legitimate proof/ evidence.     For instance a 'dream' would never be regarded by SY detectives as a reason to change the whole direction of a case imo.

IMO both the differences in culture and the language barrier worked against the McCanns throughout their time in Portugal.

SY are in the superior position of not being in danger of being wrongly influenced or sidetracked by a lack of understanding caused by cultural differences.

Cultural differences ?

Really ?

Are you saying that it is part of British Culture to leave children unattended and unsafe, whilst parents go out to wine and dine ?

SY in a superior position? can't solve it though.

[stephen25000]

SY in a superior position? can't solve it though.

I wonder why some think SY are in a superior position, having 'investigated' the case longer than the PJ did initially, and have progressed no further.

Jane is the one wearing purple identified by name by Jez and if there is anyone who should be interrogated questioned by police, it's her

She said she was wearing Rob's fleece, but wasn't asked what colour it was. She said she called across the carpark to Rob to check what time it was. I suppose it's possible that Jes simply didn't notice Rob, or else it may simply not have been her and Jes was mistaken.

ETA: I made a mistake: it wasn't JT who called across the car park, but Rachel.

Probably because they've had unlimited finance and other resources thrown at it.
However, for all the technology available to them, they appear to have made little headway.
Eliminating hundreds of people who had no involvement in the first place can hardly be called progress.

Erm, according to whom, besides the tabloids?

Mrs Todorov, 48, worked there with her husband, Stefan, who has since returned to his homeland of Bulgaria.

Did she confirm that? If so, why no direct quote?

It is this 'woman in purple', the Mail understands, who is keeping alive Operation Grange, the marathon reinvestigation of the Madeleine McCann case by Scotland Yard, now in its sixth year.

(...)
In the past few months, the Grange team — now down to four detectives from a peak of 31 — has been criss-crossing Europe trying to locate the woman.

(...)
Their budget had been due to run out in September, but officers are understood to have used the 'woman in purple' line of investigation to persuade the Home Office — which is financing the inquiry from central government funds — to grant a six-month extension.

But where exactly did the Mail get this "understanding" from?

"...It must be asked why it has taken ten years for attention to focus on this suspect?"
(...)

"Why is the British taxpayer being asked to finance Operation Grange further when all other leads have come to dispiriting dead-ends?"

Cue howls of outrage at taxpayers's money on bungling police operation. Hardly subtle, is it?
