Return of the Inspector to the crime scene - Goncalo Interview

[Mr Gray]

So no evidence then, just some periodic statements for public consumption by some law enforcement agencies

Statements by police are evidence

[barrier]

Try this... Is there any evidence Maddie is dead

Rowley coudn't or wouldn't confirm.

[Mr Gray]

Rowley coudn't or wouldn't confirm.

That's not what I asked

[barrier]

That's not what I asked

Still stands,its where the investigation is at.

[Mr Gray]

Still stands,its where the investigation is at.

I asked is there any evidence Maddie is dead... Are you prepared to answer such a simple question

[slartibartfast]

Try this... Is there any evidence Maddie is dead

Try this.... no.

[Mr Gray]

Try this.... no.

Then you don't understand  what evidence is..... The evidence is overwhelming with only a remote possibility she is still alive

[pathfinder73]

i
I wil explain again

Maddie is missing... 3 possibilities
Parental involvement... Seems to have been ruled out
Woke and wandered... Highly unlikely according to the, archiving report..
That leaves abduction.... As highly likely... By indirect evidence

No theory has been ruled out according to Mark Rowley last year.

[Mr Gray]

No theory has been ruled out according to Mark Rowley last year.

Rowley  was quite clear the parents were not being investigated... Sutton confirmed it

[pathfinder73]

"All the hypothesis that you and I could come up with, they all have to remain open........."

[slartibartfast]

Then you don't understand  what evidence is..... The evidence is overwhelming with only a remote possibility she is still alive

You probably won’t tell us what that is either.

[Mr Gray]

"All the hypothesis that you and I could come up with, they all have to remain open........."

He said the parents were ruled out by the first investigation... As they were... Suttin confirmed the parents are not being investigated

[Mr Gray]

You probably won’t tell us what that is either.

I will.. But first do you dispute the evidence is overwhelming

[pathfinder73]

He said the parents were ruled out by the first investigation... As they were... Suttin confirmed the parents are not being investigated

They were not ruled out in Portugal. All means all no exceptions.

"It should not be said that the appellants were cleared via the ruling announcing the archiving of the criminal case. In truth, that ruling was not made in virtue of Portugal's Public Prosecution Service having acquired the conviction that the appellants hadn't committed a crime.

"The archiving of the case was determined by the fact that public prosecutors hadn't managed to obtain sufficient evidence of the practice of crimes by the appellants.

"There is therefore a significant, and not merely a semantic difference, between the legally admissible foundations of the archive ruling. It doesn't therefore seem acceptable that the ruling, based on the insufficiency of evidence, should be equated to proof of innocence."

There is a high probabilty she is no longer alive but no evidence of death that can be conclusively tied to her.
