Seems woke and wandered back in favour again.

All this tick-tocking and softly softly approach at a cost of £12m is all rather puzzling isn’t it.  I mean, we all know there is no forensic evidence or cctv evidence pointing to the McCanns, so what exactly have the police been spending all that money trying to uncover?  If I were in charge of the police operation and I thought they’d dunnit I would have made them official suspects again and piled on the pressure again in an attempt to get them to crack this time.  Still, maybe the police enjoy their trips to Portugal and are happy to spin this one out until the money runs out and thenpay a visit to Rothley with two sets of handcuffs - LOL.

I disagree about there being no forensic evidence. The forensics lifted from the window and shutter were extremely informative and point to a staged abduction imo.  That was only the beginning however, refusing to cooperate fully with the police and attempting to discredit them all points one way imho. Such conduct was not conducive with parents whose child had been abducted so I have every sympathy with the Portuguese police.

This is what the Sun says.

‘The Sun on Sunday can reveal one of these revolves around three-year-old Madeleine waking up and wandering out of the villa in Praia da Luz, Portugal.

Detectives from Operation Grange — the Met Police’s probe into her 2007 disappearance — discussed the theory recently with Portuguese police.

Cops there had previously explored whether Madeleine was searching for her parents, who were at a nearby tapas bar.

She may have been knocked down by a drink driver, they speculated, who put her body in the car and later buried it.’

Where does it say that they are looking at the theory that she may have been tempted away from the apartment with promises of a puppy?

Nice to see that they are following up on this at last. I told you all weeks ago that this was on the cards. Phase 2 soon hopefully!!

The mail says it the Portuguse reinvestigating the woke and wondered as opposed to the Sun saying its SY.

The PJ are looking into it.

What forensics poyto a staged abduction, please tell us?

[Mr Gray]

Does that mean the dogs do lie

It’s funny Angelo I thought of you when I read this.

So do you think the parents lied about the open window and shutters ?

[Angelo222]

It's not rocket science, the police believe Kate opened the window.

It means that the parents most certainly did.

Why.. Did the parents and the dogs lie

Umm...lied is maybe a bit strong. I like to think it was a memory lapse caused by trauma. Does anyone believe for a moment that any parent who has just lost a child due to their own stupidity would be sufficiently compos mentis to remember everything they did? The woke and wandered thread looks at this. The Portuguese tracker dogs also lend support to the woke and wandered theory.

A memory lapse ? So Kate ‘forgot’ that the window and shutters had actually been closed when she entered the apartment  ? Or do you believe that the parents had actually left the window and shutters open when they left but both had forgotten?

[Montclair]

Have either the MET or PJ confirmed this news? I think not. So why are some people taking it as true?

If the Met/PJ think the woke and wandered theory has legs then they certainly must believe that at least Kate lied.

No they haven’t and no, I don’t believe it’s true but it is interesting that it appears now.

The forensics suggest Kate opened them and the only innocent reason for that would be to look outside for the missing child.
