I have read (again) the main file and responses to rogatory letters, about the abduction of Madeleine McCann, public material made by the Polícia Judiciária of Portugal with the collaboration of the British police (over 5,200 pages in total).
I read with the following premises in mind (premises which in turn I have established as valid in previous readings of the file):
- Madeleine McCann was abducted by a stranger to his parents and his seven adult friends of the holiday group.
- Jane Tanner and the Smith family saw the abductor carrying Madeleine in his arms that night.
- Kate McCann saw Madeleine's room window open, the shutters up, and the curtains moved. Madeleine was gone.
From this reading I made a list of 107 persons, in my opinion important persons to be interviewed or re-interviewed. Of those 107, I found that 3 may be of interest for the investigation.
-
From this reading I made a list of 104 persons of interest in the case, to be interviewed or re-interviewed. Of those 104, I found that 12 may be of high interest, and 2 of very high interest, for the investigation.
----
Sorry, but is that feasible in any way shape or form? To have a hundred plus potential child abductors in this sleepy little holiday village on may 3rd? ready to or planned to steal a child? gosh, they must all lock their doors and windows and board them up permanently in this case.
Eta not knocking your passion interest and research btw, but that is a bit OTT IMO

right Heri, persons of *interest* it is, my bad

Ok, so, who are they? and if you are not going to tell, why post this? Have yousent it to police?

Very interested, Heri. I look forward to seeing it develop

Is this your own blog Heri ?
Are you telling us that you have identified 104 people in the police files who you, personally, feel are of interest ?

Thank you.

Interesting to read your take on the abduction Heri. We all know that you cant say more than you have, even tho some are pushing you. Honing down to two people is pretty good, especially with your attention to detail .
Would send to SY if you feel you have unearthed something. .
Good to see that having made a thorough analysis of everything and having spent a good deal of time in PdL and at OC, you too do not believe The Mccanns or associates were involved.
Well done for all you hard work on this investigation 8((()*/

Precisely what exactly are your qualifications in investigative police procedures ?

Read the description at the top of Heri's Blog. That will tell you what his qualifications are.

Have seen.
So what exactly does he think he has found ?
Has he also conducted an extensive forensic analysis of the behaviour of the Mccanns and associates, and if so is there a link ?
-
"Finger Print on the inside." Don't exaggerate. This is how Myths are born.
I have just read Heriberto Janosch's 7 so called key points on his blog.
They are intrinsically supposition and that would not stand up in a court of law.
e.g.'s 'The Smiths family saw the abductor carrying Madeleine at approximately 22:05 hours,'
HOW DO WE KNOW IT WAS AN ABDUCTOR ?
'Jane Tanner saw the abductor carrying Madeleine at approximately 21:50 hours,'
Again, HOW DO WE KNOW IT WAS AN ABDUCTOR ?
Likewise, the lack of corroborating D.N.A. evidence does not preclude anything happening in the apartment. The apartment was messed up by the Mccanns and associates before the police even got there.

It wasn't a crime scene whilst Madeleine was still being searched for by her parents and their friends. It was only after she wasn't found by them that it became one.
However, it was definitely a crime scene by the time the GNR arrived. It should have been cleared and cordoned off at that moment. They failed to do that and allowed all and sundry to continue to enter, including dogs who left masses of hairs around the place.

Why I think the crime was an abduction by a stranger to the McCann and their seven adult holiday friends?
The first thing I did was a system analysis of all the witness statements made about what happened that night between 20:50 and 22:10.
It is normal to find inaccuracies in a single witness statement. So a system analysis allows you to do a global insight of all the situation, adjusting normal discrepancies between statements, or between statements and given physical or psychosocial conditions.
Each statement is a component of the system, and there exists a physical and psychosocial environment too, and you have to consider the interactions between all of them to gain insight, to discover the mechanism of what really happened.
That is why I went to Praia da Luz 3 times, a total of 26 days, not to interview witnesses, but to gain insight of the physical and psychosocial aspects of the environment.
I knew that in a system analysis a lot of minor discrepancies emerge. Even I knew that, given the quantity of witnesses involved, I would find a few major discrepancies. It is absolutely normal.
I found two major discrepancies:
The first: "When he arrived there, by vehicle, at around 21:10, he remembers that next to the Tapas reception, he saw a vehicle [...] A few minutes later, when it was around 21H20, he heard some clamour, which made him leave toward the restaurant, a few meters away, and was then informed that a child had disappeared." Arlindo Epifanio Goncalves Fernandes Peleja (PJ files pages 471 to 473).
The second: Jane passing near Gerry and Jes.
But these are two normal, though major, discrepancies. I am interested in the global situation, which I can adjust from all the testimonies. The major discrepancies, if in a normal quantity, can be discarded, and the minor ones, if in a normal quantity, adjusted. This was I found here.
You can take an isolated single major discrepancy, even a minor one, and make a world of it, a total conspiracy. You have to study the complete system.
(But it is very interesting that I never heard nobody saying "Why Arlindo Peleja was lying about the times? To whom was he covering up? Were all the Tapas Bar employees accomplices of the crime?" ... and so on).
So I took the global picture, and I was unable to explain it without an abductor who was an stranger to the McCann and their seven adult holiday friends.
(I do not believe neither in extraterrestrial visitors nor in parapsychological bilocations).
So, I do not want to lose more time discussing this, I prefer to do my very modest contribution to find who was the abductor.

Heri.
There are several problems with your analysis.
First of all, your default position is abduction.
As regards the the results of the D.N.A., and the lack of cadaver residues, merely because the results are inconclusive, does not mean they should be discounted.
Trying to blind people with science as you do on your blog, with images of phosphates, nucleic acids, the structure of the double helix, etc., is irrelevant.
Also, as I stated earlier, why haven't you done an analysis of the Mccanns and their associates behaviour ?

Abduction is not the default, it is the only plausible after discarding the rest of hypothesis.
"blind people with science"? ... Surely you prefer to enlight people with your conspiracies theories.
Eddie and Keela did not find any proof, as nothing resulted from the DNA analysis. Stop.
I made the analysis of the McCann and their holiday group behaviours, also in the system context, and did not find anything out of normal. I considered, of course, the acute stress Gerry and Kate were suffering. The major stress in the rest was surely for Jane.
And please forgive me, stephen25000, if I will not write more on the subject, I have better things to do ... Heri.

Sorry Heri, I disagree strongly.
Clearly you believe in abduction, yet there is no evidence to back it up. To prove abduction facts and evidence are required, there are none
The spurious sightings add nothing, they do not prove abduction.
Why did you need to show the structure of organic molecules when it adds nothing to the issue and would only be recognized by those having a knowledge of biochemistry ?
The behaviour of the Mccanns was certainly not normal, as has been pointed out by many observers. Your viewing it as normal is your subjective viewpoint, no more.
As to tanner ???
I don't believe in conspiracies, but from my experiences of human behaviour , people will sometimes do extraordinary things to cover up for situations they didn't expect or control. It is called self protection.
Cue the recent events in the cover up and then exposed deaths in NHS hospitals. in the UK.

And I agree with that. They want to know what we think, and then trash it, even from experts.

Yes and there's no need of machinery, double helix and high definition surveying to understand that. Just an open mind.
The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk.

And another possibly really interesting thread derailed. I should think Heri, who actually has hard gained knowledge of the case, and the expertise, has departed in disgust.
And God knows why I am still here.

Struggling to understand what your point is here Heri. The chef was obviously mistaken about the time if you take other statements into account. And if he wasnt then others were mistaken about the times? Pass.

That is the point, Redblossom. If any person outside the Tapas9 failed when he/she gives a testimony, he/she obviously made an error in his/her remembering of the events (and I may agree it is so in many or all of the cases). But if the same type of error is committed by a Tapas9 member, he/she is covering up a crime ... Please, it makes me laugh.

Hello Stephen25000,
I don't know if this is so. Substandard scientific evidence is often ruled out by a judge.
This happened in the Barry George case, for example, where there was a big question mark over whether the gunshot residue found on George's clothing came from the weapon he was alleged to have used, or if it came from elsewhere.
The judge ruled in the retrial that there was a tiny chance it came from elsewhere - such as from the police officers who arrested him - and therefore it was discounted as evidence. This was a major factor in the resulting acquittal.

I decided to re-look at the statement by Arlindo Epifanio Goncalves Fernandes Peleja
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/ARLINDO-PELEGA.htm
and found that it appears that it wasn't signed by the witness at all, which seemed strange. Perhaps I have missed something?
It finished with:
. And nothing more said, having read the statement, finds it in conformity and signs it;
. The document is duly signed by me ?
Tony Almeida, Inspector with this Policia Judiciaria.
.."duly signed by me ? <<<< Whar does that mean?
And who is Inspector Tony (Antonio?) Almeida?
Not another name for Tavares de Almeida, is it ? I know that PT people have a number of names usually, reflecting the names of the people they are descended from .... and they can chose which combination they wish.
Couldn't be Tavares de Almeida, could it? [Convicted of Torture and Officer with the PJ at Portimao, I believe]
It had been written by an Inspector Tony Almeida >@@(*&)

You're welcome, Sadie.
I also have faith in Heriberto's scientific approach.
With regard to the minor differences in the rogatory interviews, it would have been many times more suspicious if nine different people, on holiday in unfamiliar surroundings, not looking at their watches as regularly as usual, with a false sense of security being in a resort, going about in dark, poorly-lit streets, and being under the influence of alcohol, had been able subsequently, in a state of trauma and shock, to give absolutely identical accounts.

Exactly, but withoutsome of these things recollections would never be identical
However, they were NOT under the influence. Too little alcohol taken with a meal over too long a period, to be under the influence of Alcohol. You are sounding like Stephen now.
And the streets were not so dark as to affect their memories.
A definition for you.
What is UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL?
... the term applied to a person who has ingested alcohol to render them incapable of discretion and sound judgement.
Law Dictionary: http://thelawdictionary.org/under-the-influence-of-alcohol/#ixzz2cY3ze0tE
No way were they in that state

I agree, Sadie, even without some of these conditions, the accounts would still differ. Under normal circumstances, no two people will give identical reports - and here we have nine people giving very similar accounts. I'm surprised the cynics haven't jumped all over this one.
Just for the record, I was not meaning to imply that the amount of alcohol they consumed was all that significant. Sometimes even a small amount can affect a person's perceptions, and I was speaking more of the individual differences in their perceptions, rather than their ability to make sound judgments, as he legal definition goes. But thanks for the clarification.
