Not a patch on Roger Moore!

Well I'm always impressed by people who are bilingual!  So the scales are tipped in Pedro Do Carmo's favour. 

[Holly Goodhead]

Strange as some might find this I don't want to be proved right... I would just really like to see a solution. Wouldn't make a scrap of difference to me if I was proved wrong. Imo my assessment of the evidence is right... The evidence points to the McCanns innocence.

I think the only way we can all get the resolution we want is to find MM whether dead or alive.  If the former the pathological evidence and other evidence will undoubtedly tell the story.

I thought PdC had retired.

The person heading the Porto enquiry, effectively the SIO, was Helena Monteiro.  That's from memory, and I haven't got a clue as to whether she is still attached to the investigation.

To get round these obstacles, consider sending it to Porto PJ and asking them to forward it to the current investigation team.  NB Most PJ officers speak decent English.

I am considering trying this tactic to see if I can elicit more information for my blog about the use of police dogs in New Zealand in general and cadaver dogs specifically.  I might get nothing, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Thanks.  There appears to be a quick turnover of staff both PJ and SY. 

I was very careful in how I worded my email to SY and the 'Find Madeleiene' site as if I'm right it reflects badly on all concerned but especially so for the UK authorities.

Another one I suspect has bitten the retirement dust is DCI Nicola Wall.  She only had a few years to spare when she took on OG till her 30th year of service fell due, and those years have expired.

I haven't heard of her recently.  She did seem to have some success on other cases after she parked OG to one side.

I think all police investigations are handicapped to some extent by the lack of diversity.  All these cases are almost entirely presided over by males which can never be a good thing.  Unfortunately this doesn't just extend to the investigation but most other aspects too eg media. 

From the cases I've looked at I haven't read a single police interview undertaken by a female officer.  This is an area imo females would excel in.

Basically, we all want to be proved right in the final countdown.  If there ever is one.

We are all ego driven.

If the police made an arrest a poster might claim they contributed. Unless they have told someone, preferably someone neutral, what they contributed it's an uncheckable claim. No ego boost there, just another unverified claim.

Thanks.  I've done what someone here suggested, SIL I think, and emailed the Portuguese embassy:

The Disappearance Of Madeleine McCann

Dear Sir/Madam

I have some information I wish to share re the above.  Due to the sensitive nature of the information I will not be in a position to share it via email to a central mailbox.  Therefore I would be grateful if you are able provide a direct email address for either the head of the Portuguese police or the ambassador, Mr Lobo Antunes, who will then be responsible for dealing with the info appropriately and forwarding it to the appropriate authorities.

Kind regards

I'm not talking about telling The Police a Theory, I am talking about in our own heads.  Why else would we be here slagging off The McCanns or supporting The McCanns?  We must all at least believe in what we say.

Oh Dear.  That could cause a bit of a dust up.  I hope they don't send someone to arrest you, as they could think that you were in some way involved.

I'm here for a few reasons. Thinking I know the answer isn't one of them.  There is so much missing information, most of it in the hands of the UK police. 550(?) people were in PdL and we've heard from about 6 of them.

I have examined the parent's evidence and that of their friends and found them evasive imo. I can think of various reasons for that, but can't pick out one as fact; just possibilities.

Although I've read most of the files it's not possible imo to work out what happened.

I am here for two reasons.  I believe totally in The Right to Innocence.  And I haven't got anything better to do most of the time.

And besides, it's all quite interesting stuff.

Do you mean the right to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty?

[Eleanor]

Do you mean the right to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty?

Yes.  That and whatever else some would deny The McCanns.

First you have to have a trial, but even that starts with a Right to Presumption of Innocence.

Do you know, I started off in May 2007, thinking that The McCanns had done it, until my logic and common sense kicked in.  I am now mortally ashamed of myself for the fact that I was so easily led by the common herd.  I will never forget this lapse or some of the utterly stupid things I said.

I also completely forgot that I had done a similar thing when my children were the same age.  And when I admitted to this I was torn to shreds, and have been even on this Forum.

I sometimes find the nastiness difficult to deal with, but I have never allowed this to affect my Moderating.

This whole case has done me a power of good.  I have learned more about myself than I will ever learn about human nature.

I forgot that; I'm retired and I have time on my hands. Watching how other people's minds work is interesting too.
