Seems woke and wandered back in favour again.

  ... and we still don't know why Dr Totman was walking in the wrong direction.

It almost certainly wasn't Dr. Totman that Jane Tanner saw.  I can only assume that we know more about the lay out of Praia da Luz than Andy Redwood did.  But it did take us a fair old time to work it out, what with Front Doors and Back Doors.

The Portuguese police of the time were unable to determine what crime had been committed partly I believe as a direct result of the blinkered attitude taken by the investigators ... remnants of which still rears its ugly head in a time warp adhered to by some, oblivious to the fact time has moved on as far as the present investigations are concerned.

With the passing of time,the crime is still to be determined.

Same action - different person - different crime

There was, of course, something said in the very first reports that was later dropped;

"They were all sound asleep, windows shut, shutters shut," said Trish Cameron, Madeleine's aunt. "Kate went back at 10pm to check, the front door was lying open, the window had been tampered with, the shutters had been jammied open, and Madeleine was missing."

The front door was lying open. As it would be of MM opened it and went out all by herself.

Wrong direction for what,all Redwood said was a person was in the exact same area at that time.

Does no one keep up with discussions, necessitating interminable repetition???

The Totmans were resident in apartment block four. 

Why do you think the man seen carrying a child at the periphery of block five was walking away from the direction of both block five and block four if returning to block four from the night creche?

Where exactly was Trish Cameron when relaying this information?  Glasgow I believe?  Hardly an eye witness was she?  Only a concerned relative reacting to an hysterical phone call of disastrous family news.

Madeleine is missing and two national police forces with a little help from their friends, have spent a considerable amount of time and resources finding out why.

I'm sure they have something in mind.

You may be right, but why would either parent say that the door was lying open if in fact it was closed?

I'm sure having 'something in mind' wouldn't cut much ice with lawyers

No certainty which door is the front door in Trish Cameron's statement.

You have no idea what was said to Trish in that phone call ... only her interpretation of it ... including "jemmied shutters" which neither Kate or Gerry ever said because they were there and were eye witnesses.  Trish wasn't.

I don't suppose either parent did say that.  Trish Cameron almost certainly put her own interpretation on what was said in a state of hysteria.

Lawyers aren't required at the moment.

I don't recall it ever being   said that the patio door was found wide open

LOL ... I don't think I shall ever be quoted in court on that one ... do you?

I was think of CPS type lawyers
